2008 Camry XLE vibration - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

My 2008 Camry XLE with only 25,000 miles on it has a noticeable vibration when in drive and stopped at a light or in traffic. Vibration is worse when A/C is set higher and tends to almost disappear in neutral. My mechanic checked the engine mounts and said they were fine. Also had fuel injectors cleaned in case that was the cause. Could the vibration be caused by a bad transmission mount?

Do you only notice it when idling in drive? I have two ideas:

1) It would be a loose exhaust pipe. The engine RPM while idling in drive may resonate down the exhaust pipe. If the mounting brackets are loose, then the pipe would be vibrating.

2) The throttle body may be dirty. However, given that the car only has 25k on it, it seems like the idle air control valve is sticky. You can find instructions online on how to clean this - its a fairly basic DIY project - just requires the removal of a few screws.
