Slight Shaking at Idle

Try to switch off the climate while testing. Could be air conditioner clutch which periodically switches on and off with equal intervals.
I know this is an old post, but the A/C compressor on Kia's don't have a clutch, they use a Variable Displacement Compressor, and is always turning, the volume or displacement is varied from basically 0 to 100% based on demand.
 
Yes! This is exactly what I am referring to! The shake happens every 3 - 5 seconds or so. It’s not not like a rattle or anything that happens constantly, But a light shake. It becomes annoying when parked and sitting in the car for a long time. Has anyone else expirenced this? Or can someone take some time to see if they notice this as well?
Yeah my wife's stinger does the samething. I still don't know what causes it though
 
I bet if you were all to pull logs on these engines, you would find they are misfiring. Just sounds like a misfire issue.

I have a 'slight' constant vibration when at a stopsign, almost light a bad engine mount or something, but its only got 50k and the previous owner barely pushed the thing.
