Vibration, EVAP, RPM Drop

It's now allot better! However the main issue remains, idle dropping low (about 500RPM) and the car vibrating when that happens at stops (only in gear). The car works perfect otherwise. If you tap the gas it goes back to idling higher (about 800RPM) without vibration until the next stop.
I'm thinking bad idle control sensor?

Other than this, I have a crankshaft code (P016) as well as vibration. The virbation gets much worse once the AC is on. I haven't tried the heat yet. The code is showing even after I replaced the crank. I'm taking it to my mechanic tomorrow or Thursday.

I have vibrations too. I did replace both strut mounts. I used ANCHER mounts from O'riellys. I did notice there was no wieght on the bottom one but the stock one had more mettle on the front of it. and the top one I just unscrewd the wieght and put it on the new one....I think thats why the vibrate....that 3 oz of aluminum..lol I dont know... my rpms at idle are at 700-800 and my stering wheel vidrates a lil only in park. I have now replaced the motor mount nor the tranny one.

I think the engine mounts are bad. Just found the "rear mount" you are speaking of Darthroush! I'll replace it with my timing belt which is in the same area, I'm at 105,000 now so it's about that time anyway. Wish I had pictures of the mount locations weeks ago. So here are pictures for others that read this:
Here is the "Rear" engine mount:

I've seen problem with the Power steering switch causing lousy idle RPM, because it is not sending signal to the PCM to request RPM increase.
When you Turn the steering wheel, does the RPM kick up a little? If it does, then ignore what I just said.

Here is your switch, at the rack and pinion.
