Hi Guy's! Newbie here!! I have a problem with a 1991 Accord. I have a noticeable vibration at idle, mainly in reverse. I have read the posts for checking idle speed and the rear motor mount. I have vacuum to the rear mount and with a mirror I can see the actuator move when I hook the hose to it. I have checked the base engine,the idle speed is 750 rpm, and all the motor mounts. I have even replaced the rear mount as a last resort. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Have you tried to Sea Foam your car. I also have a 91 accord with a vibrating Idle. After using Sea Foam idle was normal.

There is no 'cure in a can' and you can cause way more problems than you eliminate.

It will become immediately obvious if you've a rear Trans Mount failure. As I mention in my signature, things get close to violent; the steering wheel often vibrates as much as 1/2". The front bumper on my wife's '89 LXi actually broke loose from it.
It does get worst in reverse.

I tried adjusting all the mounts. I then double checked the idle rpm with a known good tach.The tach in the car is off 150 rpm. After adjusting the idle the car no longer shakes. Thanks for the help!
