It didn't look as though this had completely posted to the group so I'm trying again.

My Silver Bullet has developed a very rough idle condition. Starts fine and idles great (in and out of drive)until after about 1-2 minutes of running - then the shakes start. It is pretty embarrassing to be sitting at a stoplight and have the mirrors vibrate off of the car. The idle may be very rough but the car actually runs great after about 1500 rpm.
To date I have replaced both motor mounts, tranny mount, Constant Idle Speed valve. Timing checks OK, ignition is in good shape, air filter, throttle body and flame trap are clean. I've run Techron additives through 2 fill-ups.
I plan on replacing the fuel filter just for the heck of it but don't feel optimistic.
The car really does run fine on a cold startup and when driving. Maybe I should just avoid stoplights...

Any ideas?
