I don't think I would use the word "hunt". It sits at 1000 RPM, then every few seconds it dips down to 800. Never anything like swinging up to 2000 RPM.

i don't understand: Why would the motor mounts cause this??
it seems to me that something else is causing the idle to change and the motor mount being bad is just another symptom my car has?
BTW it was very simple to get get the O2 sensor off my 924...so, i'll most likely pick up a new O2 sensor for my 944...if it helps i'll tell y'all

Boy, it's been a long time since I started this thread!
Anyway, I bought a generic Bosche O2 sensor. I tried to remove the old O2 sensor myself, and couldn't get it (warm or cold). Shortly after trying myself, I had the car to my mechanic for something else, and had him replace the O2 sensor. This more or less cured my idling problem. The idle has been MUCH smoother since replacing the O2 sensor. It's not as smooth as my Boxster, but much improved over what it had been.
Cheers,
Mark
