Does this happen at idle? Do the RPM's fluctuate when this happens?
just to keep it going, my truck seems to have this issue... rpms a bit shaky, and it is like a quiver, just like somthing is a-miss in the engine. Not a conisistent idle.
While the causes could be different it would seem that a rpm fluctuating at idle would be plug,coil, or fuel delivery concern. If it is a vibration with a steady rpm it would point to more of a mount or a pulley wobble cause. Even if plugs are new you should make sure they are the correct application for the vehicle and that none of them have a crack in them.
