I have an '04 Envoy 4.2, I6, RWD.

New Plugs, New Motor Mounts, Replaced PCM, performed Case Relearn at local shop, throttle body is spotless.

I am still getting a very heavy vibration while in gear, also engine feels like it going to jump out of the hood when it is cut off.

ANy thoughts?

arcing through the coil pack boot, it's a long run to the plug. seen this with ford 5.4L doing this. may see a small tell tail puncture of carbon on the coil pack boot to the plug, i should show a misfire code,but it may not

:yes:

I made the mistake of buying Anchor brand motor mounts for my Envoy... it vibrated worse than the "bad" original ac-delcos. Returned them to rockauto, bought delcos, and the truck was smooth as butter after.

Motor mounts installed were factory.

Not throwing any misfire codes. I'll investigate the coil packs once the rain stops.

I'd guess water in the spark plug well for #4 or small amounts of oil or water in any of them, except you already changed the plugs. Did you use Delco 41-103? Leaky injectors. carbon build-up? Have you ever tried injector cleaner or a Seafoam treatment?

Why did you change the PCM? A real problem traced to it, or just on speculation? Pretty expensive guess if that's the case.

Changed PCM due to the trouble code for "PCM failure". Repeated stalling at idle. Got a tuned one from pcms4less.
