Derek:
The first thing you always want to check is to make sure that all cyls are firing properly. It could be a plug, wire or a coil beginning to go bad. In a 12 a bad plug feels like a slight vibration to most who are not mechanics. Then upon revving up the vibration becomes minimal or non-existent.
Good Luck, Kurt.G



Within the last three days I've picked up a slight vibration in the engine. It seems to smooth out at speed but it's noticeable at low RPM. I had a similiar problem on my old Mercedes and it turned out to be the vibration damper. Has anybody run into this?? The service manual gives a very brief checklist for things that need to be removed to get at the damper but there's no diagrams.
