I purchased it for really cheap with the rough idle knowing that I'm pretty good diagnosing and fixing moderate problems with cars. Good enough to fix things, also bad enough to ruin them also :).
Changed all the items for new OEM parts listed in the strings associated in wiht this one. No change to idle that shakes the entire car. The RPMs are steady and don't bounce around. Dealer took a VERY detailed look, replaced a few parts for free while diagnosing, and the mechanic suggested timing chain and marks on cams was first place to start looking.
I'm half considering taking my alternative timing chain, going back to the dealer and having them do it. Much more expensive, but then I'm sure it's done right. I haven't yet sold myself on tackling a timing chain replacement on my own. I'm going to try to take off my tensioner this weekend. If I'm comfortable with how that goes, I'll go for the full meal deal. If not, I'll put it back in and consider my options.
