Starting to spend more time in my newly acquired Accord. It's a 6g 5-dr auto with 89,000m under its wheels. Drives well enough but the most obvious niggle is a slight vibration at idle. This can be felt through the car's body at standstill (traffic lights, etc), but it disappears when driving off.
Is this perhaps worn out engine mounts? Another (possibly related?) symptom is that when starting, there's quite a jerk as the engine catches.
Or could it simply be the idle speed set too low? Not sure how accurate the rev gauge is at the bottom end, but the car seems to idle at just under 500rpm when warm.
All ideas welcome.
