A slight 'shudder'in my 1998 Nissan Pathfinder

A slight 'shudder 'in my 1998 Nissan Pathfinder when stopped in 'drive' at stoplight.
I just had the idle set up two weeks ago to resolve the sticky throttle bearings problem. Would this be the cause of this small shutter? It just started yesterday two weeks after the idle reset.
I have 121,000. mi. on this engine and have normal maintenance on the car on a regular basis.

Thank you for any suggestions.

SOURCE: Nissan Maxima stalling/poor acceleration from stoplight

Maxima in 1996 didn't really have a problem with the air flow meters. I would see if the computer on top is clean. Se if you can get any water from the heater box/A/C box. There is a drain tube, that clogges up and water will leak onto your ECM/computer, flooding it. Ckeck your floor on passenger side right by the fire wall. Make sure that is dry. Let me know what you find.

SOURCE: ENGINE VIBRATION AT IDLE BUT OK WHILE DRIVING.

Could be any one, or more, of the following -

Plugged injector
Bad plug wire
Fouled plug
Crossed plug wires (hard to tell sometimes on V-8s that run smooth anyway)
Vacuum leak
Leaky EGR valve
Shifted timing sensor

Scan engine for codes and proceed from there.

There is a product called RXP (available here in Texas) that will clean up an engine and gas. Its pretty awesome stuff, and this coming from a person who doesn't really believe in additives.

My 2005 nissan pathfinder does a shudder when hitting 60mph, but only when the overdrive is on...what causes this?

it sounds like u have transmission torque converter clutch shudder, I recommened you change the fluid and add 2 ounces of gear oil friction modifier, this works very well at curing this type of shudder issue.
