Hey guys,

Since, I don't get to drive my '91 GT often, I pull the coil wire and "prime" the motor by cranking the key for 15 seconds to get the oil pressure up and then fire it up.

While doing so, I noticed a vibration of sorts or very light shaking, while going through this process.

Is this a sign of loose or broken motor mounts (stock)?

I do have vibrations emitted through the steering wheel/dashboard when driving at certain speeds and still can't figure out where it's coming from. To date, I've had the wheels re-straighten/balanced, hub centric rings added, new struts, cc plates, alloy rack bushings, MM steering shaft added to this vehicle.

Thanks in advance!

Could also be a cylinder not firing properly.

Do a cylinder balance test...will confirm of all cylinders are firing equally
