Default Engine Shake

I have a 2001 ZX3 Focus with 120,000 miles on her. Everytime that my fans come on after the car has warmed up, right before they come on my engine shakes for a sec then the fans are running. I can feel it on my steering wheel while sitting at lights. Any ideas on what could be causing this issue.

Weak battery or weak grounds.

Mine does that. I have tranny mount inserts which amplify the vibration problem.

Is your car an automatic, if it is that is definetly common?
