The vibration like comes from a misfiring cylinder when cold, which in turn can have many causes; bad spark plug, bad coil, bad fuel injector, leaking head gasket etc.

With such a major overhaul that you did recently I'd go back to the shop since it can be related to the repair. This is especially true if you see white smoke from the tail pipe.

Good luck!

Heavy vibration from motor

Volvos are hard to diagnose without a visual, but there are a couple of issues that I will try, There is a solonoid that increases the revs when the air con is switched on, this helps the engine with the extra load, if the vaccuum or electric supply to this solonoid fails the revs will not increase and drop the revs causing extreme hardship and rough idle. Lastly, inspect all supporting engine mounts, make sure they are not split or oil saturated. Hope these tips help you minimize costs and resolve your problem, safe driving.

Vitara JX 1.6 soft-top. Made in Spain 1998. Engine runs at 2000rpm when cold and only returns to idle after 10 mins or 6 miles in warm conditions. Can i adjust anything ? ps. I live in England

maybe slow,cold start,air control valve or,possibly normal for temp in morning,I live in Australia and cars can take ages to slow down in winter eg1 to 3 deg cel...and very quickly warm up in summer..eg....idle slows down in 1/4 time,have a look at the car if you can park it in warmer conds... to see if its quicker as Toyotas do this normally for fast warm up,lastly has it been well serviced...looked after??
