Default Vibration- every 3 seconds!

Hello Everyone! I searched and couldn't find anything about this, so please any assistance is greatly appreciated.

'96 gs300- When idling (parked) I feel this vibration that occurs every 3 seconds. As the vibration occurs, I looked at the rpm and it's idling normal. I can feel the vibration all over the car and the weirdest part is that you can feel it more when the car is stop.

does it do it when stopped on drive? are you sure your rpm's don't drop? usually that shake that you are describing occurs when the cars is idiling low. try using better gas and a tune-up might help. there are many other thing that might be wrong, but i would start there and see if it gets better.

the vibration is more noticable when the car is stopped (on parked) idling. I already did a tune up recently. It feels like maybe some type of metal is loose somewhere and its hitting against another and making the car vibrates (in that nature)

check your motor mounts and exhaust. if that's not it, i say take to a good shop and let them figure out what's wrong with your car. good luck
