Default 96 honda accord ex - surging

Ok here is one.

I have a 96 honda accord ex.

v6, automatic, 4dr.

The body has 165k on it, the engine has 85k.

There is no check engine lights on at all.

We can be driving and the car runs perfectly fine. When we come to a stop at a light, the car feels like it is surging. The tach does not move it sits there steady as a rock. I can feel a banging feeling through the brake pedal and also the passenger can also feel it through the floorboard.

Things I have done to this car.

The only thing I've done lately to this car is change the ignition coil to get rid of a jumping tach and also change the egr valve out to get rid of the check engine light.

If I could see the fluctuation in the tach it would be one thing but there is no flutuation.

Let me know if you have seen this one.

Thanks, really appreciate the input.

Richard

I would suspect motor mount issues. Check front, both sides, and rear for damage.

Try holding car w/ brake while in drive. Use moderate amounts of throttle to load the engine while someone inspects the motor mounts. Note, never stand in front of car and conduct this in a safe location (nothing ahead of car).

good luck

that might makes sense. the motor does sound like it creaks alot compared to my crx.

I'll have a look at that.
