Hello all,
I'm new to the civic forum, and thought that I would ask for help with an issue I am having. I recently bought a 08 Civic LX sedan with 52k miles.
Upon getting it home, I noticed that when its in neutral (it's a 5 speed), it has a noticeable vibration at idle. If you give it gas, and get it up to about 800 rpm, it goes away. I have had it back to the dealer, and they said there is nothing wrong. I tried the idle re-learn procedure. It didnt seem to help.

Does anyone have any knowledge of this problem. I bought this car as a daily commuter to/from Denver, and put about 80 miles a day on it. I'd like to get it fixed right away. Thank you in advance for any help. I searched the threads and found lots of idle issues, but didn't find one that sounded like the issue I am having. Thanks again!!
Eric

Motor mount. Passengers side. Read this and check: https://www.civicforums.com/forums/1...ml#post4577741

Of course, it could be many other things, but the mount is very common.

my 07 has a minor vibration, but it doesn't bother me that much since its only at idle.. it is a common thing for these cars..

there is an aftermarket motor mount by bremba that is nice for the 8th gen.

Many people use the words "rattle" and "vibration" interchangeably. Makes interpretation confusing.




Could be something as simple as the hood rattling---because someone standing there started twisting the rubber bumpers without knowing what they are for.

OP needs to figure out what it is. Investigate.
