Default Slight shake at idle

I have noticed that when I am in gear with my foot on the brake, there is a slight shake. I have seen old clunkers do this much more violently. Any clues?

Mine did that when I blew the head gasket, lol. It can be bad gas, clogged fuel injector, improper gap on plugs, etc. I would start with some fuel injector cleaner, fresh tank of gas and check the plugs for starters.
