      Bad motor mounts, bad fan clutch, worn water pump, or the radiator is adrift. Or maybe any combination of those.

        I vote for motor mounts. Had to replace mine last year due to the rubber compound becoming totally deteriorated....the motor had shifted about 1/2" forward from where it belongs.

          Also if the motor has moved forward or in a diagonal position in the engine bay, would this cause an idle problem?

            The position of the engine, per se, won't cause an idle problem. But what that movement might do the the hoses that run from the intake to the AFM and brake booster could cause problems.

                Good to hear! I should start get into the habit of checking mine more often.
