Consumer Description

I'M EXPERIENCING 'AGAIN' ENGINE VIBRATIONS WHILE AT IDLE. THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE STARTS TO GO DOWN TO 0, ENGINE VIBRATES, APPEARS THAT IT WILL STALL, AND JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME BEFORE THE NEEDLE HITS 0, THE NEEDLE RETURNS TO IDLE AND ALL IS OK. OK???? I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS VEHICLE AND NEITHER DOES THE DEALER. LAST TIME I TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR SERVICE (11/3/03) THEY CHANGED SPARK PLUGS, GASKET AND INLET MANIFOLD BOTH SIDES. I'M TAKING IT TO THE DEALER ON TOMORROW (THE DAY AFTER THE INCIDENT) AND IF THEY CAN'T FIT IT I'M GETTING A V8 FORD. *JB
