    Hi Guys.

    Just curious to know whether anyone else has the same issue as me.

    I have a 304 with approx 180,000km on it, compression is good (well maintained and gently driven motor). It has new mounts all round and all ignition components are around a year or so old.

    I have a minor shake at idle that can mainly be felt through the steering wheel or through the seat. it’s random (e.g not every fire of a specific cylinder) but more every 1.5-2 seconds or so.

    I know most of the LS’s get a bit of a shake at idle by nature but am unsure if this is normal for the old 304.

    I am suspecting it’s just due to the Tri Y’s and catback that probably adds a little more harmonics etc but just curious as to whether anyone else has noticed this.

    Cheers

    Probably a misfire. Check your dizzy and rotor button.
