Default I have rough idling, no CEL. It runs fine but rough idling.

I feel vibration, could it be the motor mounts? Am I confusing the vibrations of a bad motor mount with rough idling?

Default Did you change your spark plugs recently or put in Techron fuel injector cleaner? Motor mounts...

...are expensive. To replace all would be about $600 in parts. Bought some and never had them installed.

Upon startup about 1100 to 1200 then they mellow out to about 600 to 700.

Default Could be water in the gas...

You know, gas prices these days. I assume you fill up with the premium and nobody else does. So it sits down in the tank for a long time all the while collecting moisture. Ergo, water in your gas producing a rough idle and no codes. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it! ;-)

Default I'll go to my FLAPS today and check out some gas additives there.

You're probably right.
