Try getting some fuel pressure readings. It is either fuel or ignition and the coils would most likely operate or not.

As a long shot, also check the IMRC valve. Maybe it is stuck Open...

RobG: I was wondering what your car looks like with the gt-7's. Can you post pics? Thanks.

holy shit, I have the exact same thing going on right now! Are you talking a little vibration, or actual ShAkInG to the point it seems dangerous?I have had the same thing going on for about the past month.

I took it to a shop and they said it was caused by 2 broken motor mounts, so I put in new mounts, and its still the same. Checked balancing and alaignment, all is fine. I am going to have them take a look at the tranny mount(s), as well as the tie-end rods and the strut/CV/springs to see if all is ok. The mechanic said since on my car it happens during a certain rate of acceleration, he thinks it might be the tranny. But the funny part is that when I floor it, the car takes off and only shakes a little, so I dont think its the tranny.

I love this car, but I am tired of all the problems I am having (don't worry, i still wouldn't sell her).

Anybody else have this problem? Anybody else have problems with loose steering (car feels as though it wobbles)? Any ideas on what the caauses could be?

i have the same problem and i cant figure out how to fix it. my usually happens when i step on the throttle alittle and happens when the car shifts from 2 to 3 gear. I have try plugs, cleaned my filter and even add many fuel system cleaners but nothing seems to work. if you find the problem let me know

when you guys say the car shakes/wobbles....what exactly do you mean? What I am feeling is as though the subframe shaking side to side, and I feel it coming from under my seat and under my feet. Also, do your cars feel like they are "floating" at highway speeds.......find yourself having to correct her frequently to hold a straight line?

no no no....its bogs like back and forth, like you were tapping on the break.
I thought of the fuel pump maybe and yeah i have access to the OBD2 scanner my friends shop has one.

ant-not bringing my car to acura again, someone stole my maglight! (yeah yeah its a 20$ flashlight but its the principle of it) and the 2nd to last time, do you know how far they drove my car?? 20 miles...20 fuckin miles, i had my 2nd trip meter set and i knew how much gas i put in the car...i had a lil under a quarter and they gave it back to me with the gas light on. So 20 miles fo them beating the shit outta my car.

Rob: Did you ever figure out what the problem was? do you still have this occuring? I haven't been able to figure it out and am afraid that its my axles.

When you scanned.....do you mean to get it hooked up to an OBD-II sensor?
