    If its not the motor mounts the only other thing that I can think of is the balance shaft belt. Have you ever replace it or retensioned it while doing the timing belt? If it skips teeth it can cause the car to vibrate. But then again it would also do it at driving speeds, if it were the balance shaft belt.

    Whatever you do, do not get the mounts from Autozone or Advance. They are crap. Send the extra money and get OEM
