Great job w/ all those details you provided. Have you done a recent tune up? Is there oil in the engine? If your car is newer than 1989, is the air meter connected? Do you get a check engine light?

Hey bro if you want me to check it out for ya let me know. It's kinda hard to tell what might be happening from your description. I'm much cheaper than taking it to the shop. Let me know

I have the same problem except its at higher RPMs. My Jeep used to do it too.
Let me know if you ever figure out what it is.
