Default weird idling issues

top o the mornin h-t! ok so heres the sitch.. i have a 95 coupe d15b7 auto =[ and i have I-H-E, problem is whenever im drivin and come to a red light sometimes my car starts shaken BAD, i mean the whole car is vibrating and its LOUD and embarassing, what could be causing this? i have new spark plugs and fresh oil if it helps at all.

oh also one of my radiator hoses busted a while back(its been replaced since then) so it overheated and i just put water in it cuz i had to go to class ya know. would the lack of good coolant add to the issue?

thanks for your time and help guys =]

Is the engine timing correct? As far as the Water in the radiator goes... it doesn't matter, but water is corrosive when compare to coolant, so stop using it! Also if water tends to freeze if is to cold outside. But for the shaking make sure is the timing is good! Probably when you stop the RPM go below the normal...

check your TPS....it may be bad...does the car ever rev up and down at idle? and does it only happen when you are driving or does your car idle differently when cold?i need a little more info to pinpoint but i think its your throttle position sensor or your idle control valve...either or their easy to replace

Is the CEL ON?

Besides the idle problem, does the car otherwise run fine?

As mentioned, try cleaning the IACV. Also try adjusting the idle screw on the throttle body.
