It runs great on the hwy and anything just above an idle. It actually runs fine at and idle but just does not settle down completly at and idle. Of course you can watch the engine move just a little at an idle also. NO check light and no codes so as you figure it is not very bad but just enough to be anoying. Does anyone have any ideas?

Is this something new?
