2001 lx470 with 278,000 on the clock. Just got back a 3,000 mile trip out to Moab and back. Did a ton of pm a few months before the trip including new spark plugs and replaced a bad coil. Drove into town this morning 40 minute drive. Got into a parking place and truck was idling fine for a few minutes while I was checking emails etc. Then truck started vibrating excessively shaking wobbling pretty bad like a motor mount was broken or something. Popped the hood and the engine is wobbling. I got underneath and everything looks fine. No misfire or running rough just wobbling/shaking. I didn’t see a broken motor mount. Then after a few minutes it smoothed out. Then it will come back a few minutes later. It doesn’t matter if I change gears forward reverse etc. I’ve revved the engine a little to see if it changes and nothing. Just shakes more as rpm increases. Then it will just go away on its own. No cel yet. I’ve driven around the block a little and will be fine for about 5-10 minutes. Just appears randomly and goes away randomly. At this point I’m thinking bad harmonic balancer, motor mounts, spark plug, loose spark plug, or possibly another bad coil. Super thankful we made it back home when this occurred. Let me know if anyone has any other ideas or seen this. I’ve searched and can’t find this exact issue yet.
Thanks! Jason
