Default 02 Accord V6 shake

Just bought an 02 accord EX-V6 and at around 35 mph cruising I feel the whole car lerching back and forth very fast. It does not do this at any other speed that I can tell. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

wheels need to be balanced.

Could also be the EGR valve, which won't always set a code. We get a lot of complaints at work about the car stumbling under acceleration, usually at around 35mph. The 6th gen V6 Accords and newer Odysseys are notorious for this. The engine cuts out really quickly, causing the whole car to jerk. Only way to verify this though, is with a scan tool that can read the EGR sensor voltage while driving..

Default I am getting it balanced this afternoon

The car accelerates fine through the gears. It just happens to find a happy speed of 35mph and when I cruise there is does this. If I cruise at 40+ it is fine. I will keep that in mind.

Thanks flyromeo3 and accordvtec77.
