So my fiancée bought a used 2005 Neon SXT last year that was supposed to be her daily driver. Well, after some medical issues she can no longer comfortably operate anything with a manual transmission and the car basically became mine. I thoroughly enjoy driving the thing but after doing some research on the common issues I'm concerned I'll be dumping money into it pretty soon to alleviate it's idle vibrations and anything else I find. I guess the first thing I need to know is how to figure out if I'm dealing with a timing assembly problem, or wobbly mounts? Any advice will be appreciated and thanks ahead of time.

 

Most likely motor mounts.
