idle vibration?

Ok, I have a 97 EX 4 cylinder with 127,000 miles and am getting some vibration at idle. I've had all the motor mounts checked and they're good, timing is right on, anything else I can check? Motor is in great condition, no burned oil at every oil change, just can't think what else it might be... Ideas?

My Accord always idled smooth as glass. Last spring into early summer my wife commented that my car finally started to idle rough, and I said, yeah but my car has 138/K miles and her new Trans Am only had 13/K and was worse. Anyway, the AC compressor seized up in late summer. With the mileage on your Honda, and if you've never had the AC system service performed, which I never knew about either, then it could be your compressor going and causing drag. Mucho expensive to fix if you have the shop do it. I did it myself, and it still cost $650.
