I notice my Camry is idling rough when at a stoplight with the a/c on. The whole car shakes especially the hood. When I turn the a/c off it almost completely goes away. Any ideas? It's a 2.4L 4 cyl automatic. Thanks in advance

Check the idling system. Most probably the throttle body and IAC are dirty causing the idling speed to drop.

The engine mounts don't seem to be in good condition as well.
