Default Idle on my Tc

I dont know if this fits the forum but, i got inot a front end accident with my car in december. Moslty just body work and a new radiator were the problems to be fixed. But ive notcied that ever since that the car idle is very shakey. Like i can feel the vibration of the engine in the cabin. Im just not sure if this was the same as when i rolled the car off the showroom or it because of the accident and should ask a mechanic about it to maybe try and fix it. Thanks for your input guys its much appreciataed.

If you're unsure, then go to a dealer and compare the idle to their demo tC. Your description of vibration in the cabin makes me wonder if one or more motor mounts might have been damaged during your front-end accident.

i was thinking the exact same thing, have the dealer lookat it and see if the mounts are loose.

It could also be that your idle setting was changed when the work was being done. I would take it to a good mechanic or your Toyota dealer to check it out for you. What RPM does your car idle at now?
