the engine seems like it runs fine and it has plenty of power. when you put it in neutral it goes away and when you put it in reverse it seems to get better but drive is a killer. is this a common problem and is there anything to make it better .
the car has 8,400 miles on it and my wife is driving me nuts about this.
this is my first post and i would appriciate any help here

Well i found out thru just driving the car that in warmer weather the rough idle is not as bad asi think the motor mounts get a little softer and it absorbs the engine vibration there is a tsb out this problem and it involves slotting the belly pan bolt holes and installing a ner #3 motor mount bracket this involves all 2002 escorts
