Vibration, but no CEL
I have a strong vibration coming from the front, but no CEL. Not sure if related to a worn FM flywheel, I used to have a bit vibration on the clutch pedal. Now the shaking overwhealmes it and is felt through the front cabin. Happens when clutch engage, disengaged, driving, idling.
Tried to swap coils with a used one that was causing misfire under tuned high load. Car is now stock. Could this be engine mounts? Flywheel? Or should I get a odb2 reader first? |

Hm, quite interesting. Is the vibration strongest on the engine? Could be motor mounts. I'd check them out considering you are starting to get into some high mileage. They aren't hard to change at least.
My only thoughts, without seeing the vehicle would be motor mounts or a missfire, but you said you aren't throwing a CEL. However, that doesn't mean you necessarily have any codes stored. Have you tried pulling each coil while engine is running to see if anything changes or not? |

Pulling coils when engine is running? Didnt do it, didnt think it was possible. What's the expected reaction?
and also how do you check if the mounts are ok? |

This is one the moment I regret selling the Cobb before the car, now I have nothing to diagnose and log the car
What's curious is the rpm doesnt fluctuates and engine still vibrates. |

Disconnecting a coil at a time whilst the engine is running will tell you if one is back or not. If the engine behavior changes, such as it runs worse when you disconnect one, then that coil is good and/or working properly. If no change is made, then that coil is most likely the problem. However, I'd give the motor mounts a look before doing this. Check to see if they're cracked or loose. Use a pry bar underneath and give them a wiggle. You can easily tell if they have too much play or not.
