Engine Q???

My motor seems to rock gently from time to time when idling, my 89 grand marquis with the 5.0 did the same thing but i still drove it for 30,000 miles with no problems.  Anybody else having this problem?  Any ideas on what it might be?  I'm certain its nothing to worry about but im just curious.

Mine will idle a little rough when it finaly idles down after warming up.  I honestly think my problem is due to my plug wires though.

my car does that when it would miss at idle. Might could be a bad motor mount perhaps.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
