Idle Vibration

what could cause the engine to vibrate at idle??


the strange thing is that it does not vibrate when cold,
only when the engine is warmed up??

by the way i have a K&N FIPK, HP Racing Header w/high flow cat
and Tanabe SRM cat-back....

Does it idle more now with all those mods or what? Are the RPM's at 1000 or more?

You need to find where the sound comes from.

I had an issue where the hood would make a ratttle sound.
I thought it was from the engine at first.
I just a unscrewed the rubber hood cushions a lttile for a snug fit when the hood was closed. The cushions are above the headlights on the frame. Try that.

It is # 14 in the diagram below

what file size is the vid??? if it's less then 10mb email it to me and I'll host it!! pm me for the email address!!

Also what year/mileage is the car??? Imphortracer's integra did the same thing and it stopped when we put a new fuel filter in and changed the oil. lol also check and make sure your idle is set correctly. or you're prolly under warranty still so worst case tkae it to the dealer!!! Hope that helped.
