vibration problem

Anyone have a vibration problem when idlling and stop at the light while in gear????? The car runs fine and smooth but had vibrations when stop or idlling only when the engine is warm.
The idlling speed is fine and just did all the major tune up stuff, change the fuel filter, air filter and front engine mount.
I think is the timing belt got stretch causing the timing to go out while in low rpm like idlling. But I could be wrong.
Any ideas will be most welcome. Please help

Does it go away. My CL and my prelude did the same thing. I think it has something cycling inside the car when it is not moving. I also notice that when the AC is off it doesn't really do it much or at least that I can notice it where it bothers me.

I think it can only be tune up, engine mounts, vacuum system, injector needs cleaning, timing belt (old and need to be change), one of this is got to be the cause of this..........right?

Most car's have a "modulator" that controls the interaction between the engine and (auto) transmission... could be faulty and sending wrong signals.

try changing the other two engine mounts this is a common problem

my 2.3 cl is doing it as well I need to get them done.

I read a post on Honda tech and a guy with a Cl complained about the same problem he changed his timing belt, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, pvc, egr, front mount, injectors, did a fuel flush and it still was doing it. He changed his front or left mount and the problem was fixed.

If you think of this in a logical way the engine mounts damper vibration from the engine and if they are worn vibration will be prevealent at idle and at worse case scenerio when you stomp on the gas and the mounts are under an extreme load

you can also get a rough idle if you install cams, intake, have a vacuum leak, or your timing is out of whack.

I had a similar problem until I changed two gaskets in the manifold, that were also leaking just a little bit of the exhaust. Problem solved, smooth running since then.
