2 days ago: I start the car , put it in the gear and I felt a vibration, and a pretty strong one!!!! like that one when the engine is running in one or two cylinders.
I have stopped the car , tried park and neutral....no more vibrations, so ... I presumed no problems with the engine, round and smooth.
When in gear (R D 1 2, with or without overdrive ) it start to vibrate, from idle up to 2000 rpm (I have not tried more speed in city of Chicago, Friday at 6 pm....).
In speed,or stopped if I put it in neutral the vibrations are gone
I have pulled the codes through OBD I code reader, and are some problems with the engine.
I have suspected problems with the engine misfiring , or something like this, but, for whatever reason I could not complete cylinder balast procedure....so no idea if are all firing or are ok, again in N or P the engine sound acceptable...
I have the cheap reader (30$) This are the codes :
214, 411, 412, 538,
The vibration is present whether or not the car is moving, but loaded when in gear, even when stopped.
The car was sick before this, have had high idle before, and a very slow deceleration response, basically after accelerating (in gear or in P N, stopped or running), the rpm dropped only after 10-30 seconds, and this was not a mechanical problem, like bad acceleration cables...I went to a shop for this problem before and they gave-me a 1800 $ estimate.... so I payed the price for gas, 8-9 mpg/city (real, based on the full tank > empty tank/miles), 22-26 highway
I put a short video with the car on idle alternating between P and R to hear and see the vibration

Technical data :Temperature outside when occurred 24 degrees F (-4 Celsius) , but has the same intensity of vibration when warm...
Mark VIII 1993
130.000 miles, coil spring suspension converted, transmission rebuild 30.000 miles ago, some rough shift when cold sometimes, but overall ok (by now)... the trans was rebuild on a small suburb shop, believe-it or not but the car broke RIGHT in the front of the trans repair shop, exactly in the same day turned 100K miles, and actually I have to push-it 100 feet in to the shop...
My mechanical Skills levels.... good (ex mechanic for classic/vintage motorcycle and restaurateur ) but no familiar with automatic transmissions
I will appreciate any help...Thank you !
