Sounds like the fast (cold) idle is not doing it's job properly.

Any recommendations?

When you do, see if you can hear where that "sort of noise sounds like the engine trying to regulate something". Listen to the back of the inlet manifold.

Well
Tried it this morning.

Unfortunately in PARKED mode (automatic), the rev are higher and dosent vibrate much.

So didnt noticed any untoward noises from engine....will have to find someone to sit in car in DRIVE mode with foot brakes on for me to listen to engine ...

How warm is the engine when it drops to 900rpm? Is it registering on the temperature gauge at all?
