So i've had this nuisance for a while. Barely noticable, but still worth asking about. When I'm stopped, say at a stoplight, I can feel the car slightly shaking? It's actually pretty annoying. Anybody else have this problem?

 

What car? Is it only when the AC is on? Cause all Honda's have compressors that shake the car a bit when the AC is on.

Could also be a bad motor mount.

 

01 CL-P. Does it when my AC is off too.

 

my car also shudders sometimes when im idling. 01 Cl-S. At the same time there is also an annoying rattle/low speed vibration or shaking/clunking/squeaking coming from under the hood at idle. Sounds like a belt or pulley is loose but I don't know about that cause the car feels fine under load and at speed. the noise seems worse when the AC is on. Is this the idler pulley?

 

exact same problem as me. I replaced three motor mounts, upper a arm, lower strut car bearings, One axle, and still, my car does it. I replaced all those because the car was shaking at 40 and especially upon acceleration. But at park i press my gas and the rpm drops slowly it drops too low then jumps back up to normal. Theres a clicking noise in park too. Like a ticking noise near the area or the power steering? AC does agitate my noise too.

 

My noise is coming from the belt area as far as i can tell. Like down toward the bottom of the engine on the side close to the front of the car. I will try and make a recording maybe somebody can identify it for sure. Real annoying and kinda worrysome a bit though.

 

Could be the IACV. The RPMs might not be stablizing.

Do you have a lot a mileage? Maybe try using some Seafoam and changing the plugs.

 

my car does a simular thing, when im stopped at red light it seems to do what you explained, except i can really notice it because of my exhaust, the car will be quiet, then humm and shake, then go quiet again, repeating all up until i start moving then its fine.......im taking the car to acura tomorrow for a little check up so i'll let you know if they find anything.

 

ok so i didnt take it to acura, but i changed the spark plugs and air filter since i just got the car and dont trust anything the guy b4 me did, one of the spark plugs was totally burned out, after changing them there was a BIG difference when i stopped at redlight, the humming and shaking was almost 100% gone.

 

anyone figure this out, mine went away for about....3 days and now its back......

 

could be anything
bad motor mounts, a miss/hesitation(ck plugs/wires/timing), or even a clogged iac valve.
Low idle? What's it idling at?

tl's were known to have a bad design in the intake leading up to the iac valve - not sure if CL's could have similar problems

 

mine idles at about 800rpm.....i've noticed that it feels like its losing power at some points right b4 it starts to shake, and the little light thats lit on the dash that says D5 dims for a second when that power loss feeling comes across

 

hey cjpfx did you find out what was causing your noise/vibration problem?

 

myne does same thing, shake at idle and also the reving up and down when i start it sometimes, anyone know where to get struts for an 01 cl type-s, that arent $275

 

Has anyone fixed the problem with the steering wheel shaking at a stop?

 

In my old accord it was warped rotors.

 

No man, thats when comming to a stop. Im talking about the car just being turned on and the steering wheel rattling due to engine vibrations or some other problem.

 

Did you manage to get this problem identified?

 

That's a clogged/dirty idle air control valve (IACV).

 

My car does this same thing when im in park with the motor running. Its a constant start and stop vibration. It happens with A/C on and off. It also happens in my dads and my brothers 2nd gen TL's.
