car shakes at idle and ticking sound
i currently have a b16a swap into my 94 cx
at idle(750rpm) i can feel my motor shaking the car a little bit when holding on the steering wheel. also the shifter shakes a good bit too. If i rev it at 1000rpm the shaking on the steering wheel goes away. I checked my mounts i didnt see any cracks or anything. are there mounts insert will fix this??
also i hear a ticking sound which i think its the injectors. does it get louder as u rev higher? i can hear it pretty good at 1000-1500rpm before my intake sound takes over

the spark plug wires are old(came with my swap) but the spark plugs are new and gapped at 1.2
i doubt its the spark plugs wires

bump for an answer, i have the same b16 swap in a 94 civic cx, my car vibrates alot because of the Es mount inserts i have but its also just that the car is getting old and peices are getting loose.

Re: car shakes at idle and ticking sound (KillaB-)
The shaking is probably worn out mounts (the rubber part). The ticking could be the valves; adjust 'em (c-speedracing.com has a how-to IIRC) and see what happens.

I was always told it was normal for cars with solid shift linkage to vibrate a little at idle.. you could try setting your idle a bit lower or higher, mine idles at 650 and when it gets to around 750 the steering wheel and shifter shake a bit then as it increases to around 900 the shaking disappears
