vibration

when i stop at a light with the engine idling i have a vibration on the steering wheel and basically my whole interior is vibrating.. i can feel it on the pedals and on the seat.. its pissing me off.. when i put the car in neutral or park it goes away... im guessing the engine runs a bit rough when it has a load... but when im going 4mp/h and up it goes away.. i havent adjusted my valves yet since i got the car last year and i think thats could be the problem but it could be the engine mounts.. i have checked them few times and they seem fine.. i dont know man. any ideas? also i was told that it could be the torque converter... oh when the engine warms up too it gets better but still u can feel it but when its cold its pretty bad..

i know TCCs go out in a lot of chevy 3.1s, but not sure about acuras. oh, tcc is torque converter celenoid in case you didn't know. but if that was bad, then the car would stall on you when you came to a stop after driving for awhile. maybe it acts diff. in acuras, but that's how it is in chevys.

I've the same problem. I can feel the vbration in the steering wheel and the pedals. It usually happens at nights when I stop at lights. It can be quite bothersome.

Sounds like either engine mounts or a tranny mount.

try resetting your ECU.
TAke out the engine compartment fuse for about an hour.
Some say 10min. I do it over nite. But an hour is good.
Maybe it just needs a reboot.
