Ok Guys, heres the problem:
I have a 97' Civic that has severe vibrations while idling in cold weather. I am assuming it's an engine mount problem.. Is this model year notorious for having bad engine mounts? The car only has 80k on it.
Is there anything I can do besides dropping 300 bucks on getting them replaced? I read about some inserts you can buy to fix the problem.. Has anyone ever gone this route before? Are they a pain in the ass to install?
Damn, I would hate to blow all that money right now.

In the cold your car idles rougher till it warms up, and your mounts are cold(harder)

Does the engine idle low (under 500)?

I have a 97 civic, and when the engine was cold, it
have some vibrations, when it warms the vibration dissapear, I checked the engine mounts, they look ok, guess what, the problem was a spark plug
