Honda Accord Idles Rough
#4
I've heard of this happening when the engine mounts are starting to go bad, but of course it could be a few other things as well. Hopefully someone with more knowledge will come along and help better. My 99 Accord vibrates slightly when I'm in gear, but applying the brakes at a red light or something. Never really thought too much of it.

Accords with automatic transmissions have a vacuum-operated engine mount down low between engine & firewall. It's a pain. Test it like this.
Find that engine mount. There's a vacuum hose coming from it, to a solenoid valve. You want to unplug the electrical plug for that solenoid valve.
Find someone who you trust... Engine all warmed up & idling. Hold the brake and shift into gear (R or D). Unplug that solenoid valve. It should make the vibrations worse. If there's no difference, then the mount isn't working.
First rule out stuff like dirty/loose/corroded electrical connections or torn wiring. Rule out disconnected or leaking vacuum hose. Make sure it's not something like that before you go to the pain or expense of replacing that engine mount.
ps. Elijah, the same story for your 1999.
