"more violent"? You haven't met the OP and haven't seen his car, but you are sure your symptom is more violent?

Shall we assume that when you DO do 'anything like opening the doors or windows' you cannot reproduce this violent event??????

When you say you turn on the ignition, do you mean just turn the car on or actually start the car? (I assume the latter.)

"crazy"? What is crazy to you? How much fluctuation? Is it the needle moving or is the engines rpms also varying?

How long does this 'crazy and violent' phenomena last? What is "move about!" to you? Vibrate? Shudder? or is the car and it's chassis visibly moving around?

In all my years of forums, you have got to the the most "sensitive" owner I've ever 'met'...
