When I'm sitting idle at a red light the car it like kicks I call it a heartbeat but it is getting worse have had it plugged into a computer and nothing is showing up there's no lights on either. Have put a catalalage converter cleaner through it and made no difference no one has any idea what it could be. I can feel it under my seat when it happens when driving it's fine it's only when I'm sitting idle.

Try cleaning throttle plate o both sides and iac hole with choke cleaner they get gummy and do all sort of screwy things normally at idle. Then check for a vacuum leak or air leak like duct work leading to engine and grommets cracked or broken on engine.
