I have a 93teg that shakes when I am at a stop or light the entire dash and steering wheel shakes violentely
this is when the a/c compressor cluch kicks in
the two things have done is tighten the throttle cable
and adjust the idle
still have the shakes

does it only shake when you are stopped or does it also do it when you are slowing down?

my old 1987 prelude use to do that. if u put it in neutral, does the shakin stop? (if its an automatic) i was told it was an engine mount problem, i never got it fixed cuz my dad told me it costed over 500 to fix.

check your motormounts, the rubber on the front or back mounts might be shot.

 

[tegfixin]

did you say that the shaking only occurs when you AC kicks in

Ok here is the story as I am driving
and I approach a stop(or light) the car idles if i have the air on the car shakes bad and it clams down some when I 1)put in netral 2) turn the a/c off and 3)
put it in park

motor mounts i have not check

good one

its the motormounts...they wear off on everycar after some period of time and thats when u feel more shakes to the body of the car, as i was told once.

motormounts..

 

[magz93]

cool THANKS

I am there MotorMounts

 

[Jacksont001]

most likely the front one, possibly the back one. you feel it because the ac "pulls" the engine forward as the compressor pumps itself, then releases causing your engine to pitch backwards.

I hate this problem, just pray it isn't your rear motor mount, that one is a pain in the butt!

time for polyurethane inserts!!! (won't eliminate shake, but will give better launches!)
