Yeah, so anyway, I've got a 4 day weekend coming. I should have some time in there to tinker a little.

My plan is to double check the engine mounts using a mirror and flashlight to really examine them. I had done the "see if the engine moves around under load" test, and ruled them out, but they are the most obvious culprit so I'm going to try to really get a good look at them.

Then I'm going to spray a bunch of carb cleaner on the vacuum hoses to check for a leak, since that's probably the next most likely culprit.

And then I'm going to look for anything that's touching the frame/body that shouldn't be.

Wish I had some jack stands. I asked for some for Christmas, so can't go out and buy any yet. It would be a lot easier to examine this car if I could raise it a bit and get under it safely.
