And you have a GSL-SE with all the emissions removed? Or you have a 12A with a turbo setup? In other words, we can't help if you don't provide any information about the car.

how bad a wobble. On a scale from 1-10 what would you say.

Is this only in gear, all the time, only in neutral.

Does it ALWAYS do it or just sometimes.

More info pls

sounds like the shudder valve.oops i mean shutter valve....you know what i mean. take your air cleaner lid off and give it a rev. you chould hear a very loud sucking sound on rev drop. then a small thunk sound. then the engine should return to normal idle.
