2000 Toyota Camry - On idling in Drive I get small jerks along with the engine rpm sinking and then rising alternatively. Any idea on what the problem could be?
Took it to a car dealership and they found that the spark plug needed to be replaced. It is fine now.
Why are there jerks here?
There are jerks on every site. Most of them find it amusing to be jerks. That will work fine until they grow up and find that no one wants to be around a jerk except other jerks. That is their reward.
Why does my car jerk and act like it's going to choke out while idling in drive but runs fine in park or neutral?

Why does your mercury cougar start fine but when you shift to drive and press on gas shuts off?
If it jerks then dies, it could be the lockup torque converter is stuck and whenever you put it in drive it's "direct drive" without the advantage of a torque converter. That only applies if the engine is running well and there are no other symptoms. As always, check for a computer diagnostic code using a code scanner.

Change the fuel filter.
Why does 2003 Ford Taurus run fine but has trouble idling and will sputter and stall and the check engine light is on now?
If the check engine light comes on it is best to take it to a auto part store or mechanic for a diagnosis. They will be able to inform the owner what the issues is.

1992 Ford Festiva Auto body vibration while idling in park or drive with brake applied and headlights on vibration ceases when lights are turned off?
Having your lights on might slightly lower your rpm, and bring out the vibration you noticed. If you have a tach you can see if it only happens at a particular rpm. If the engine runs fine then perhaps your motor mounts are worn.
What do you think is wrong with my 93 cavalier idles good Drives good but stalls when stopping in drive or idling in drive checked all vacuume lines and all fine?
Possibly a defective torque converter lock-up solenoid. Disconnect the solenoid and see if that cures the problem. If so replace the solenoid.
Engine stalls when idling?
Give me more info and i can get better answer, mine stalled but i just rev the engine a few times and than it worked fine. And make sure that if its a standard that you have it out of gear when you release the clutch, and if its not that than check your throttle positioning sensor, just get me more info and ill get you a better answer
1998 Subaru Impreza Outback AWD shifts fine when driving but doesnt idle well in Park or Drive?
try checking that there is no moisture build up in the sparks as this will cause it to idle rough but drive fine. if u do find moisture try spraying some crc 556 or other lubricant in the spark cavity and check the spark plug gapping. if its still idling rough after that take it to a garage :-)
