car shakes in idle
while sitting at idle the car really shakes, the RPMs are steady @700, and the guage does not move much at all.. the car feels as if it's gonna stall so i put it in neutral..
what gives, injectors??? why isn't the RPM tach moving though??

Missfire. New spark plugs or a bottle of Techron from chevron in the fuel tank might do the trick.
It did for me.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a8/msgs/102292.phtml">Take a look at this thread.</a></li></ul>

Good call. Same symptoms, turned out plugs 3 and 7 were fouled. All new plugs and a can of 44K and she's good to go.
