Crank pulley wobble
Yesterday when I was driving, I started hearing some strange noises under the hood along with a vibration. So, I pulled over and popped the hood with the car still running.
It was pretty obvious what the issue was when I looked. The crank pulley was wobbling all over the place, I was pretty sure it was about to fly off so I ran and shut the car off. I was sure I had lost the bolt, but no, it was still there. Yanked around on the pulley, no play.... Ok that's weird I thought to myself.
Decided to start it again, and it wasn't really wobbling much. Revved it up. Now the wobble is completely gone.
I drove it around and it seemed fine... but I'm still worried.
What would cause that to happen? Motor is a D15b8.

Re: Crank pulley wobble
Similar problem on my 97 HX at one time. Crank pulley ended up coming apart and screwed up the crank threads a bit. Take a look at your crank pulley closely and see if the rubber is separating from the metal.
