I would clean the AFM meter... use the AFM cleaner.
There was an issue in these cars about the harmonic balancer deteriorating. I seem to recall that the engine would vibrate some time before it broke up. By then, it was a costly repair.
However, just checking it was simple enough and inexpensive. You say the engine runs smoothly so this does not seem to be the cause, but I would check, just in case.
