Ok my car has an idle problem, while parked the engine actually rocks the car in a side to side motion, almost as if were dancing. I have a couple of oil leaks that I have been neglecting due to lack of time, and bad weather (snow storms). I have the valve cover, and distrib. o-ring leak. Could that little O- ring be messing up the distrib. itself? Or could it be the plugs are fouled from oil? I can smell burt oil when I drive the car on a moderate drive, it smells like an old car, I mean it is, but that doesn't mean it has to go hand and hand. I check the oil often, for the correct level and the light never comes on. Any feedback on my dancing GS, I will be thankful. I can remember when I could hardly tell the car was on, until now.

i have the same thing, but not as bad.. what's your fuel consumption like? if it's as bad as mine (16mpg), then there's a good chance it's your o2 sensors. if they're blasted you'll have a rough idle.

I was told they were bad before and my fuel gets suck down like water down a drain. But I heard that the O2 sensors do nothing towards the way the car runs, only towards the fuel saving thing.
