Vibration help. Not auto not engine related
I checked all my mounts, and all the suspension is tight. The car does vibrate at idel but where it is most annoying is everytime I go over a little bump in the road it goes vvvvv........vvvv......vvv. as the shocks take in the load. It is not suspension cause I just got new K-sports and I had the problem before. I am so sick of this problem that I just cant figure out. Itis all in the front end. The car also vibates after 6000 rpm. And on deceleration if it is in gear(more than normal). The engine is stong the rest of the time and smooth as long as I am on the gas. Any help would be great.
Give me an idea what car you're driving. Each generation has it's own issues.
As a recommendation, put your make/model/year info in your profile signature area. that way you dont have to keep including it every time you post.

My bad. It is a 93 accord with a 93 H22 5 spd. Also it isnt the wheels or tires. It is the second set of wheels and probably 20 th set of tires since this has been doing this. Also if this helps. when I shift into nuetral and coast it is very smooth or when I am at WOT.
Can you duplicate the noise by torque loading the engine in either forward or reverse? Since you've got a 5spd, this is gonna be a little difficult without burning out your clutch (bad!), you'll need a rather burly friend to man handle your engine (while in neutral) while you listen for your noise. By Man-handle I mean literally pulling the engine forward agianst it's mounts and then pushing in the opposite direction.
I personally have never heard a "vvvvvvvvv vvvvvv" sound, but I suspect it might be caused by a moving pulley/belt rubbing against a plastic shield or something. I've heard of dry ball joints making a "farting" noise, but the vvvv vvvv noise is a first.

There is a great article on noise descriptions - click the link to check it out, and see if it helps you describe the noise you are hearing. (hopefully the link works)

After going to that link, I guess the sound closest would be buzzing (electric razor) but If the sound really helps think of it like this: Say the word video. Think of the way you said just the v part. Then say vvvvvvideo and draw it out. That noise as you say it that kinda hurts your head, that is how it sounds except you can feel it in the pedal steering wheel dash and car.

I would look for things like loose heat shields, or something hitting the exhaust. Also I have seen cold air intakes rattle against the hood or firewall. Vibrations and rattles are sometimes the hardest things to fix and even harder to advise when I can't actually hear the noise. Take a good look around at the engine bay and the underside of your car. With some common sense you should be able to locate the cause.
There have been some threads in here where some have relayed to a relay 'Buzz' from what they thought was the fuel pump relay??? (but that won't be throttle sensitive... ) maybe. This I can't personally vouch for since I've never heard it. I still think the interference theory has merit (for the lack of anything more definitive

I have had this happen and I just clamped down the shield. What I am talking about is way more than fuel pump relay, heat shield or intake. I mean it really vibrates the whole car bad. It has to be a mount somewhere, maybe not torn but my teeth are about to fall out kinda vibrate. Thanks for all the help guys. I am going to get it on my buddies lift and also re-evaluate the mounts with him. Sometimes 4 eyes are beter than 2.
