Still have no idea!

I am noticing it is more common as we enter summer. If I lift the bonnet I can hear a buzz coming from around the intake manifold area but can not pin point it. My dash has the vibration running though it also.

I had a buzzing/vibration at just above idle.

It was one of the black actuators/ solenoids on top of the ACE block on the chassis.

These are cheap.

Hope you get it sorted soon.

No ace.

YYEESS!! That was it. The bottom one of the two was causing it! Who would have though something that small could shake the car like it did.

I will remove the valves completely when I get some time since they won't ever be needed.
