So when the car is idling it's vibrating wildly or mildly? Is it time for a tune up? Do simple stuff first like check your plugs and wires, cap and rotor, etc. Make sure your exhaust is clear of any debris and so on, check your air filter. All free stuff you can do yourself. If that all checks out then buy some of that fuel system cleaner ($4 or so from the auto parts store) and run that in a full tank of gas and see if that helps. When was that last time the fuel filter was changed?

Default Shaking or vibration

I did replaced the spark Plug, wires and rotor cup. i did replace the timing belt too and also I did place a fuel injector cleaner in my tank but the vibration still there and I am not sure if it's the engine mount or transmission mount. Thank you for your input Mike and I really appreciated .

I think bad transmission mounts would be most noticeable while shifting into and out of drive or reverse. Maybe it's your engine mounts. Does the amount of vibration change with rpms?
