I have a 1990 Accord 5spd that is vibrating when sitting at an
idle.When I step on the gas and increase from the idle (750 RPM) to
about 1000 RPM the vibrating stops. From what I have read, it sounds
like I might have a broken motor mount. I checked the motor mounts and
they all look ok Anyone have any Ideas. thanks Jim

One of the mounts is computer controlled hydraulic, it's supposed to get
soft at idle. If it doesn't it's bad. It probably won't look bad though.

Eh? Which one is that? Left, right or front?

On the accords with automatic transmissions I see there is a vacuum
controled rear motor mount. Is that what you are talking about? It
looks like the one on the manual transmissions is just a dumb old
piece of rubber. Or maybe I am wrong
