I have been driving my D for nearly every day for the last 8 months without any issues. I just came back from a week long trip. I drove my D for a few miles without any issues on Friday. Yesterday evening, I started D and noticed an engine vibration. I figured it would go away once the engine gets warm. It really didn't go away even after engine warmed up. Engine continued to vibrate (cyclical type of vibration). When I accelerate from stop, vibration gets worse. It shudders at it goes from 0 to 15 miles. I also could hear a faint metal rattling noise from engine area. Once I reach the cruising speed, everything seems normal. I am not 100% sure but feels like I have less power now. I get a slightly more vibration when I put the transmission from P to D.
Other facts:
Idle is at normal, 700RPM and it doesn't fluctuate.
Air temperature here is at around 60-65F
Engine temp is within range
All fluid, including oil, transmission, and coolant are normal
Oil pressure is normal
Checked air filter and looks clean
No hissing sound from engine area.
Fuel injectors are secured and in place.
Oil filer cap is secured and in place
This car has
Automatic transmission
Dave's RPM relay
DMC integrated fuel pump with external check valve
Cold air intake
I would appreciate any advices or recommendations.
Thank you
