Hello. I have a 2008 Saturn Astra, manual transmission with 120,000 Kms. . It also sounds loud outside of the car, you can hear the vibration. Also, it seems as though it is idling low and the rpms fluctuate at random times. This all started at the same time. The rpm issue is not consistent but the vibration is. I have been to the dealer with no success. Help! Thank you

Check the fuel pressure,Clean the idle air control valve and test the TPS sensor-also check the exhaust system for restriction
