then you can get the shakes. I'd explore the easy stuff before the major surgery. </span><br>

<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">I've had my 2000 Roadster for over a year and the engine has always shaken a lot when idling. This is starting to bother me. My mechanic says it might need a new timing chain which might be a good idea regardless.
He tells me it's not related to engine mounts or anything like that. Just wanted to check to see if anyone else has had a similar issue before turning it over to him for an expensive timing chain job. Thanks for your help.</p>
