Have a '93 B2600i that I bought as a non-runner with a bad ECU. Got it rebuilt by AvePro (excellent service and one-day turnaround) and the truck runs now. Great on the highway, but around town this engine vibrates a LOT at idle. Can't believe this is normal. I've gone through and looked at connectors to make sure of solid connections and no corrosion. Vacuum seems tight. This is a rebuilt engine the previous owner had put in, and it does have new motor mounts. One peculiar thing it does is the idle fluctuates a bit. Sometimes it idles consistently low. So I get out, screw the adjustment screw until it's 800rpm or so (5 speed manual, BTW). Then everythign's fine until I drive it next time, whereupon sometimes the idle will be too high! Any ideas what the idle thing is, or why the engine vibrates so much at idle? Oh, when I got it I replaced plugs, rotor, cap and wires. It also has a new fuel filter and is timed correctly.
