When cold your car should idle considerably higher than when warm - like
1200-1330 vice normal of 900 RPM. Is it doing that?

Thank you for responding!
Yes is does idle fast when cold. I even disconnected the sensor and
the idle dropped down but still had the vibration. Two people have
inspected the car and nothing is bumping against the frame. I am at a
loss here.
Any more ideas?

Make sure the ignition wires are tight. Did you use OEM or aftermarket
ignition parts?

Got a problem that I could use some help with.
I have a 95 Corolla, 4-cyl, automatic, 125k miles.
My problem is when I first start the car in cold weather. For the
first 5 minutes the engine has a vibration (enough to rattle the dash)
that goes away as the car warms up. The colder the outside temperature
the worse the vibration is.
Once warm the car runs smooth. This is at idle and in park. Never a
check engine light.
Replaced wires, plugs, cap, all motor mounts, and injector cleaner.
Anyone have any suggestions?
TIA
