I recently acquired a 2002 Honda Accord and it has an idle vibration, especially when it first starts. I noticed an unconnected vacuum line above the starter that traces back to the motor mount. Can anyone tell me where it should go? I've seen comments about a motor mount control valve but I can't seem to locate it. If anyone has pictures of where it is and how this line should be routed, I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

 

I have a 2002 Accord EX. I just looked and I don't see a vacuum line immediately above the starter, just a rigid small pipe. But it's dark outside so I'll look again in the morning and let you know what I see.

 

Thanks TeeboneX,
Unfortunately the file you attached won't open all the way it stops responding before it opens.

 

Sorry eddieo, that was a link newbie me just learned is not allowed. I'll go look at my car for what you are questioning at daylight....

 

I simply do not see what you are asking about. I don't see what would be a rubbery vacuum line just above the starter. Here is a photo of my engine:



I have my starter removed and there is a white plastic bag in place of where it would be. I don't see what you are talking about. Can you guide me more?

 

I believe that line is a vent line and should not be connected to anything. I believe it vents off the transmission if I remember correctly.

Vibration at start up is likely a different cause. Check your IAC valve, cleaning mine solved my startup idle surging.

 

Yes, I now see the line and it's a vent not connected to anything. Mine just doesn't go near the starter you as described but go forward from the mount to near the auto transmission check/filler plug.
