It should have a slight shake at idle. It's a three-cylinder. Just enough to see the shift knob dancing a bit. It’s not much. A non three cylinder driver might ask if it is running correctly at a stop but not while driving. Motor mounts do get soft I just put a set in a 1990 last night. I’ll be surprised if we notice them. Run a compression check the cylinders can’t be more than 20psi off from high to low cylinder. Make sure your at the target 850 rpm and your 5 degrees on the timing. Double check the timing belt and make sure the marks are truly lined up. It’s almost always low compression from a leaking exhaust valve. That will get you started. Also keeping track of your mileage will tell you were the engine is as well. 41 plus mpg usually means decent compression. 35 mpg usually means compression is off or gone in one cylinder. So you can see that as you descend from great mileage to 35 mpg you can virtually see it in a compression check. Get a factory manual and make sure it’s all to factory specs. Good luck!

Haha! Finally a video where I can comment on! I have a 97 3 cylinder 5 speed. 154,000 on original motor and trans. But oil all over the damn place. Motor and trans is pretty damn strong though. I have learned that you are the man for rebuilding the motors and trans. So, how much for a “ gas mileage “ set up? I don’t need bill power. If I have to. I will just jump the timing a tooth like you showed in the timing video I just watched, haha. Anyways. I’m in Mesa AZ. But will be willing to drive the car to you and hopefully you can teach me some things. I’m new to these small engines. I’m fresh out of college with my 2 year college degree in automotive technology. But, I haven’t actually rebuilt a engine or transaxle. I’m 20 years old with no money because I’m in school full time about to be part time. In one year or so I plan on being a truck driver. Anyways. How much would you charge to do all of the goodies for my engine and trans?

I have a '97 4 cyl/auto. At times, at freeway speed, dry weather, it will just die momentarily as if you've turned off the key for a second. No sputtering, just dead. Hit the gas pedal, it wakes back up. I have noticed it at times when I get off the gas suddenly, like for an off ramp. Here in SoCal, most off ramps are fairly long, so I hit them at speed, then get off it just before the end. That's when it will die. Not consistently, but when it does, it seems to be under closed throttle conditions. This car has been my daily driver/commuter; I run 650 miles/week, and I need it back and healthy. As an aside, I get about 33 mpg. Is that normal?
