Maybe the spark plugs need to be replaced, cap & rotor too? Check the subframe where the motor is bolted to from the bottom, make sure all the bolts are on tight and that there are no rusty spots. Put on some heavy duty gloves and see if you can move anything. The subframe can rust pretty badly if you use the AC all the time as the drain is right over the subframe (dumb design!). Could be the idle, does it do it when the transmission is put in neutral?

Hey guys. I just replaced all my mounts on my 2002 se a couple months back. the dam thing still vibrates pretty bad. At first I thought it was auto zone parts so I took them back and bought oem Honda ones. Still the same. Every is stock minus coilovers and 5 lug swap. It's been like this for about 15000 miles. It's my daily driver and it's getting kind of annoying. does anybody have any ideas of what else it could be.

ever found out what it was? i also have an 02 SE that's auto. really only vibrates when idle in D. vibrates enough to feel the steering wheel shaking while you hold it. did you end up fixing it?

Pop the hood, idle it,

Is the engine 'disoriented', not where it should be?

Is the engine shaking?

shut off, check mounts, see if the center bolt looks 'centered'.

Look for mount leaks.

My "99 used to vibrate really bad too, especially when the A/C was on but it doesn't vibrate anymore. The roads where I live are really horrible I found that going over these bad roads all the time fixed the problem it must have put my mounts together again.

Just done use the ac, is all I can say it helps

running a/c results in more drag, more hp req'd, so your rpm drops.

so your ECU bumps air, through the iacv opening...if it's clogged, so it already opens all the way, it can't open more...

so your idle drops...

experience idle drops? check IACV.
