    Hi
    I have a 91 Accord EX Sedan, 148500 miles.
    Whenever the car engine is idle, I can see the dash vibrating and making
    noise. I had this problem in March and went to the dealer and he said its
    the engine mount thats needs to be replaced and so I got it replaced for
    $157 at the dealer.
    Now again the same problem appears. I don't know what the thing could be.

    Also when do I need to change water pump ?

    TIA

    See if you can find a mechanic who KNOWS how to drill out the EGR plugs
    and clean the passages. He can then tap the drilled places and put in
    bolts. Might take care of your roughness. bob

    There are a couple of mounts that regularly cause that. One of them is the
    front dog-bone style mount... which sounds like the one you are talking
    about (because the mount costs about 50 bucks, and the dealer would have
    charged labor). The other mount is a computer controlled hydraulic mount
    that goes bad sometimes. It is supposed to get soft at idle, and them firm
    up above idle.

    Thanks Bob and Jafir for your suggestions.
    Will get both mounts checked and passages cleaned.

    Appreciate your help.
