This has me baffled and a bit worried. 94 honda accord with 156K miles, timing belt replace 3k miles ago, as was the radiator and thermostat.

the car shakes slightly when i begin to accelerate but is fine when i really give it some gas. not sure if this is something I should worry about or not.

any ideas would be appreciated.

 

was it ok before t-belt job?? if so have recheck work balancer shafts could be misaligned

 

some possibilitys could be, worn wheel bearings, worn driveaxle, like stated above the balancer shafts out of alignment...

has it done this ever since the timing belt, if so that is the most likley cause, or it could also be out of balance wheel, as i had that problem and it would shake when really driving slow but would seem to fade away as mph increased...

 

another thing i thought of chk your tires make sure you don't have a separated ply

 

Thanks for the responses. This hasn't happened since the timing belt replacement, only in the last few weeks. It seems that my idle might be running a bit low (750 rpm in neutral). Could that be the problem?

 

Bump

 

could this have anything to do with your engine mounts perhaps?
