hey I've a 91 DA and it just started recently shaking in idle when the AC is on. The shake isnt excessively bad but it's something I want to fix. What would cause this? As soon as I give it gas, and the rpms raise, the shake goes away. And it only shakes when the AC is on! I know JACK about AC and I'm barely getting in hondas now.
Help?

It's normal.

It's the compressor kicking in when you push the A/C button. Inside the compressor, there are little pistons moving up and down.

Which is most likely causing this issue.

Normal to shake so bad though? i mean I guess i was playing it down by saying the shake wasnt that bad. It is and it's annoying.

i think its normal as well. mine does it too. but mine isnt the whole car its just the shifter and my exhaust canaster does it as well.

It annoys me as well.

So either live with it, or roll down all the windows and drive in the nude.

It's the A/C compressor putting a load on the engine, causing it to run a little rough. It's normal on an older car. My '95 GSR does it. It got really bad after I put in solid mounts.
