HELP!... car having issues at idle

i dont know if its just me, but i feel as if my idle is a little low? i idle at 800-900 rpms and my car shakes tremedously. im not sure what it is? is it the motor mounts? spark plugs? if i give it a little gas it doesnt shake as much but that can be due to the motor twisting a little at throttle. please help!!

are you sure? or was that how it was advertised at the dealer? may also want to check and see if you have a aftermarket lower motor mount

a 900 rpm is very normal. If there is shaking or vibrations, check your motor mounts. You also might want to check on the tension and alignment of your balance shafts.
