Re: Need some insight with idle vibration problem (schlit)
OK of the three Honda Accords I have been in recently they ALL have the vibration issue at idle. My car has done it since I can remember and it's even worse when the A/C turns on... (Mine is a manual) but I do noitce that the vibration issue is a lot more pronounced on the automatic tranny Accords. You can see if it's the mounts but seems it's just an Accord thing. 
But should you go thru the engine mounts give a yell what the results are!

Do a search! I can remember at least 15 threads dealing with this issue. My suggest which somewhat aleviated my situation and slightly reduced the vibration is Bosch Platinum +4 plugs.

your idling is set to low, when you put the car in gear it drops the idling even more than when in park
either that or you drive band is not engaging properly

Re: Need some insight with idle vibration problem (schlit)
Hey Schlit go back to your pic #2 and #6 the mounts that hold the engine in place .....#15 just control torque action when put in gear. Unbolt the bone and it will fall out, better yet unbolt the top bolt of the bone. pull or rotate the bone toward front of car than better view of rubber inside. Engine motor control sys maybe your problem, but that is only the motor mount at you firewall..... but this is the easiest cheapest fix to try first. Comes complete with two round rubber heat shields in package. 2 day overnight ups .......really satisfied with this company........128.00 from local dealer...not
