Engine Air Temp sensor, and Engine coolant temp sensor can also cause this symtom, but with different codes. essentially they read as the wrong tempuratures and the computer tries to warm up, or cool off the engine by changing the idle speeds and if they are bad it reads all wonky and can cause problems. (went through it myself for about 6 months till I changed the engine coolant temp sensor)

I haven't even jacked around with this problem in a while. Things have been pretty tight since last summer so I haven't had any cash to put in the car. Coincidentally thats why I haven't been around here as much... Kinda frustrating when I have/had a lot of plans for this car to watch it sit there and not be able to do anything to it right now.

I did however get new motor mounts, which made this problem 90% less noticable. My motor mounts were gone. Literally. They were collapsed and just sitting there!! It still does the little shakey/lean /hesitation thing, but the whole car doesn't shake as bad. It all depends. If its a cold day it doesn't do it at all. I need to get this problem cleared up once and for all. Thanks for all the input guys.
