That's usually something simple and cheap, but can be a bear to find.

Could be a bad plug, a leaking plug wire, a vacuum leak, or a sensor
starting to go bad.

You didn't mention mileage, but an '02 is getting old enough for the
above "stuff" to happen.

Lately, when the RPMs drop below 1000 in my 2002 Santa Fe 2.4 $
cylinder, the engine seems to vibrate a bit more that normal. Also, the
engine seems to go from normal (how it was before I noticed this
problem) to a "jerky vibrate" back to normal. It doesn't vibrate a lot,
but it is noticeable to me.

I took it to a mechanic and said it was fine, but I'm not sure. Anyone
have any similiar experiences, or ideas on what it could be?
