Rough idle in gear
I did a search and didn't see any other thread... but my 99 sport idles rough while in gear and stopped.. now when i say idles rough..the motor seems to run fine... but the whole jeep starts to humm and vibrate almost like someone had a subwoofer and they are parked next to me.. as soon as i take off it goes away.. and as soon i put it in park or neutral it calms down 99% I've replaced numerous parts/sensors to no avail... I've tightened everything thinking it may be a motor mount or something of that nature and nothing has fixed it.. its not a consistent occurrence but it does this more often than not and it's getting awfully annoying.. has anyone else had anything that aounds similar to this?? Thanks!
