What is your oil pressure? 5SFE's are notorious for sludge and clogged pickups if not properly maintained.

If you see sludge, I'd take your oil pan off and clean out the pickup. Also check the oil pump.
Also, it could be a bad oxygen sensor.

Did you replace all the motor mounts?

I replaced the front and rear mounts on mine and it made no difference, it wasn't until I replaced the side mounts that my vibrations went away

If it is the 5S-FE, a little vibration at idle is normal.
If its more than that, replace all motor mounts if you haven't done so.

I'm assuming its a stock 92 engine, so more than likely if you have maintained it, you will have no sludge issues. Those sludge problems started happening during the Gen 4, 4.5 Camrys after they got rid of the oil cooler to reduce emissions.

thanks i didnt replace the side mounts just the front and back but im having trouble finding the trans mount

I ordered both through 1sttoyotaparts back when I did mine.

Just to be clear, before I did mine it wasn't a small vibration it was VERY noticeable. With the windows up and on a cold start it made you feel like your head was rattling around. It felt like I had solid engine mounts essentially, I just felt the engine all the time.

i'm having the same problem on my 1994 celica GT. front and rear mounts were shot but the car wasn't shaking as much as it is now. i replaced them thinking they would solve another problem. With the new front and rear mounts the car shakes like crazy! Looks like i'll have to pick up the last 2. Thanks guys!

let me know how that turns out im having some difficulty finding the other two no one seems to have them

Back when I was looking I found them somewhere online (partstrain?) but could not find any definite pictures or answers and they were 2/3 the price of the mounts through 1sttoyotaparts so I decided to not take the chance and just ordered OEM mounts.
