Really Rough Idle.

Ok,
I upped the RPM's so it idles higher, and even now I sit at stop lights and the whole car shakes, I mean nothing noticeable from outside the car but you can deffinately feel it inside. You can see the steering wheel shake. It smooth's instantly with a little gas, but it is really annoying. If anybody knows what it could be, and even better how to fix it it would be much appreciated.

Here ya go. This is the best info I have seen to date!http://www.cybertrails.com/~bestinthewest/autotips/9091accordcomprblems.html

Have a compression test done. If it smooths when you give it some gas you may have a compression problem, ie.. incorrectly adjusted valves or burnt/ damaged valves. Worth a shot

Depending on the situation, this actually sounds normal for a 4th gen with miles on it. Usually it's just because of soft motor mounts, if you have an auto...that'd be why, hydraulic rear mount relaxes as a stand still sometimes causing the steering wheel and such to vibrate.

thats what i was thinking, My 92 wagon seems to have that same problem, thought about getting new motor mounts, Guess I have to do it now

Is this the same with the fifth gen's? This prob isn't the end of the world, but I always wonder what effect it might have on other things that could rumble loose over time, or anything like that. It would be a pain to replace the mounts.

How much are new mounts, and how hard are they to install?

I would check with local dealer firs but then look on line, i have found many cheap factory parts for my 92 wagon!

Just remember that you get what you pay for! Scimping on mounts isn't a money saver unless they're good quality...
