I have a 2006 4.4i and been experiencing the uneven idle.

I've replaced my spark plugs and been using premium gas also. My lights don't dim though unevenly. just can feel and hear it.

please help!!!!
same problem, same engine. my lights dont dim, but it does give me a "pulsating" idle--only when i'm at rest in drive

funny.. i have noticed the same with my 2006 4.4i. when i am stopped at a light with foot on the brake - i feel a vibration... as if the idling is set too high.. i never noticed this before and was thinking it may be because the temp drop outside? I was never ever able to feel the engine thru the steering wheel.. it was always a silent idle.. Now I can feel it quite easily.

I am just shy of 60K, and need to do the InspectionII.... so maybe its time to change plugs etc.....

Check your motor and tranny mounts.
