this is not a brake related. i have a 89 dx so my car doesn't have rpm, whenever i'm at a red light my steering wheel shakes very violently. so far i have changed spark plugs and oil change when i bought the car two months ago. any wizards would like to let me know what's wrong?

 

not sure but mine does the same, keeps me awake though!

 

is yours a auto? the idle might be low so the motor is having a hard time keeping it's self going.

 

low idle. bad motor mounts?

how do you adjust low idle?

 

vibrating go away when you accelerate? when the car is idle does it feel like its going to die if you dont give it gas? sounds like bad motor mounts.

 

This same thing is happening to me when I decelerate. Doesn't matter what gear I'm in, but if I just let my foot off the gas and coast,...the lower the RPM's go, the more it wants to shake. If I down-shift it goes away until the RPM's fall lower in that gear (no lower than 1k RPM...) Think bad motor mounts?

 

My 89 dx hatch 5 speed same thing. Idle's below 700 and shakes like a bit#@.
Took a look and the front mount rubber is torn. I think the ecu holds the idle steady even if you adjust.

 

unplug the idle ajust motor it has a blk/yel wire and a blu. (on drivers side near cly 1 DPFI) MPFI is on the back pass. side. any way unplughthis and u'llset a code 14 and then adjust idle to 650 base idle. plug it back in and reset computer. idle should now be bout 750. thats normal

 

maybe you got a v8 in that sh*t
