1.7 engine. I had engine mounts replace but the car still shakes in park and when I put it in drive the shaking is still there but not as bad. And I have a low idle around 200 rpm's. I have the car looked at and they could not find any issues and no codes on dash.

200 RPM is too low causing the vibration. I would start by serving the throttle bore. Start by disconnecting your battery and then follow this guide.

Please run down this guide and report back.
