96 accord 4 cylinder engine vibration
I have an engine vibration coming up through the gas pedal when I
apply the gas.Its there through all speeds except when the engine is idleing.The mechanics at the dealership can’t find the problem.Timing has been checked. Could there possibly be a motor mount failure? -- Posted using the http://www.autoforumz.com interface, at author's request Articles individually checked for conformance to usenet standards Topic URL: http://www.autoforumz.com/Honda-96-a...ict134196.html Visit Topic URL to contact author (reg. req'd).

Motor mount failure would be my guess. My '93 was about the same age as your '96 when it began to have motor mount problems. One mount (the rear?) is hard to see and is bad about crushing. But, this should have been the first thing the dealer checked. They probably did. If they did not, I would take it somewhere else. Elliot Richmond Freelance Science Writer and Editor |

I’m not sure if It is liquid filled but the dealer should know.

My daughter's engine is vibrating a lot, and I suspect the rear mounts. (I'll take a look later this week when the Helm manual arrives.) The price on-line is pocket change more than $200 US apiece, but if that's what it needs.... Mike |
