What's your RPMs?? I know sometimes mine will drop pretty low and it'll rattle from time to time. Is this it?

Hondaracer,
I've had Hondas in the past that would idle very roughly sometimes at idle. A tuneup would usually make things a whole lot smoother. When was your last one?

I'd also check out the condition of your motor mounts, just in case...

Mine Idles Pretty Rough right now and it idles at about 800 rpms but i know i have at least one bad motor mount, you should check the motor mounts out, and im sure that a tune up would help it.

man the same shit happens to me. i have some aftermarket mounts though, all bolted in pretty good, and it still vibrates like crazy, gradually increasing until 1.5k rpms, then after that it doesnt vibrate. ive checked and nothing is rubbing, but im thinking maybe i need to cut off my front tranny mount spot, cause i have an ls motor in it.

The label under the hood on my civic says 750 -+50RPM. I adjusted my timing and the idle speed and it still vibrates at lights, mainly when its in gear. I think its just one of those quirks with hondas.
