Re: HELP bad vibration on 2002 civic

can you describe it better? is it at idle, while the car is moving, what are the rpms, is the engine light on, etc.

its mainly at idle at about 1k but when in motion the vib is hardly noticeable except you do feel a contstant thud on the gas pedal.

almost sounds like the engine is misfiring, or there is a problem with fuel system. maybe try changing the spark plugs first and see if that helps.

Check for loose trans and engine mount bolts.

Yeah, I was gonna say engine mounts. Sometimes if the mounts are bad it makes the knock sensor read weird and causes a misfire condition.

Re: HELP bad vibration on 2002 civic

The vibration started before i changed my all my mounts. The only mount not changed was the rear. But i do have new mounts and the vibration still persists.. Is there anyway to check the rear mount. Its a hard vibration and is noticable even when moving. But the vibration isn't as noticable when moving due to road vibration.
