when my O2 sensor went it idled rough and would stall the odd time. I had 200,000kms on the origional O2 sensor. but I would do a tune up first and see if that helps. and also a bad O2 sensor will give you ****ty mpg

if it vibrates more, it might be spark plugs. I remember wen one of my coils weren't firing one of the spark plug, idling wld suck.

Sounds exactly how my truck feels. I'm throwing a code for the O2 sensor. I'm thinking the cat might be junk too though.
