    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

    Not exactly sure about a 90 with MT, but my 91 with AT supposedly had a
    "hydraulic" MM.
    At an idle, it "softens" to absorb vibration.
    IIRC, It's the one toward the firewall???

    It's problem on sensor. Like Idle sensor which forsees the conditions..
    The sensor is a computerized like chip.

    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

    Your problem might have various causes. The car might not be getting enough
    air, fuel or spark.
    I've seen often a car which will stall when left at idle but runs ok when
    you give it a little gas.
    I think you should start with the essentials. How long has it been since the
    follwoing were checked/replaced:
    spark plugs
    ignition cables
    ditributor cap and rotor
    air filter
    fuel filter
    etc?

    I first started noticing the problem about a 6 months ago but it was
    not as bad as it is now . I replace the spark plugs distributor cap
    and rotor and air filer at that time and I didn,t see much of a
    change. I just got use to the vibrating. Now it gets pretty bad. But
    yes your right, The gas filter has 100,000 miles on it and the
    ignition wres are the originals.

    I told you it's sensor thing. I have the same problem. my car idlee
    the mile gadge is abnormal only during the starting time. If I push the
    gas, it goes away. So I do not have to worry about since it does not
    affect on driving.
