Slight Engine Trembles...

About a two months ago, I got in a crappy situation where I accidentally had put diesel in my car. Well I eventually got it fixed at a Honda Dealership but something told me that they hadn't actually replaced some of the parts needed, but just cleaned them out. To this day...when my car is in idle..my engine seems like it trembles very slightly.. I could feel the vibration most when I grip the steering wheel hard, or when I put my hand around the Automatic stick. Is this normal for all of our cars. to have a slight engine trembling..or is it just in my head. Is it that one of my parts is not in the best of shape.. Anyone have any ideas what "part" in particular may cause this slight tremble...? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

my 02 civic trembles for a few minutes after starting and idling, but goes away after a few minutes or when i put it into gear... try adding techron to a tank of gas or slick50... might clean your fuel system

Techron
Slick50

Anyway, the slight vibration is "apparently" normal. Mine started doing it after about 500 miles.

As for the diesel situation, if they're parts that can be cleaned than why waste money on new parts? I'm really surprised you didn't lose the engine.
