Hmmm I had the same issue with my car. What was happening was the Intake was rubbing against my strut tower bar.
I wonder if it could also be bad motor mounts...
Nonetheless, it could be DPFE, EGR, etc...

DPFE???? what the hell is with all the acronyms around this place. IIRC, DPFE...BARGH!!!!...ok. I am done
Anywho. Does it vibrate at idle? Do you smell anything, hear anything when the vibrations occure. Is your car a 5spd or Automatic?

no noise, no smell and havent notice it on idle,
now that i think about it, last week when i was drving with the a/c on(hardly ever do) the engine would bog down from like 2000 rpms all the way to close to idle from a dead stop(dpfe symptons??) or woudl it just be becuase i had 4 people in the car and the a/c on?

Maybe then. But It shouldnt still be doing it if thats the case. No check engine light im assuming... Dunno. Check to make sure everything for the gas peddle is tight. Something might have come loose.

That is not the DPFE.
Symptoms from a shot DPFE re those of a "chugging" engine and poor gas mileage.
I'm guessing something is loose.
You might want to have that looked at.
The gas pedal is something you don;t want to find out you have problems with at the wrong time.

Okay engrish here...
Do you mean "My intake has been stuck against my strut tower bar since I installed them 2 months ago" ?
If that's so, make sure you get some clearance between the two. I had it rubbing and it was making some problems, but now that I have a 1/2" clearance, it makes all the difference in the world.
