The 2.4 engine actually transmits quite a bit of vibration at idle. If
your a/c compressor was cycling, that would explain why the vibration
changed.

Every once in a while, I see one with an EGR solenoid stuck closed,
causing the EGR vavle to remain open. You could be having this sort of
problem. In some cases, it doesn't set a check engine lamp.

If your mechanic has significant Hyundai experience, I'd say to trust his
opinion. If not, you may want to go by the dealer and have one of the
mechanics there sit in the vehicle and feel the vibration. The mechanics
there should know whether it feels normal-- they test drive these vehicles
regularly.

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?
