my friend car is idling at 600rpm and shakes real bad, she doesn't know why nor do i.

 

If i rememebr correctly it should be 750. If it still rattles then those old motor mounts are shot. She might want to get new ones. I heard the rear motor mount is the onme with the probkem, but it costs $$$ cause it has vacume lines coming out of it.

 

me and her shook the motor by hand and everything seem pretty solid and yeah now that i think about it the idle is around 750rpm.

anyone else know why it might be shaking?

 

I have the same problem with my 92... I've been told again and again that the rear mount is bad.. but eh... i can stand it... No funds to fix it yet. Shaking it won't figure out of the mount is bad bro... Maybe if the mount was broken... For a 11 year old car like that... the rear motor mount of probably shot. Meaning the rubber inserts has losts its effectiveness.

Around 750 and not sure why the car is shaking so bad.

 

oh wow, are motor mounts really that expensive to fix? how much for part and labor? i think my friend might have the same problem.

 

I was quoted like 200+ for just the rear mount but then honda automotive parts has it for like 188 i think.

 

oops, yeah i'm thinking broken because when my mount broke in vw i was able to rock it back and forth by hand, anyways she'll know this weekend when she takes it to the mechanic.

thanks everyone!
