Recently i have been having heavy vibration at idle, not just the normal 4 cyl slight vibration. This vibrates enought to make the whole gauge cluster shake up and down.

Any idea what this could be, It occurs at 800 rpm for the first 5-10 minutes of driving, when the car is fully warmed up and idleing at 650-700 it doesnt do it.

usually motor mounts causes bad vibration like that.

Is there any fluctuation in rpm's? If so, it good need a valve adjustment and/or tune-up. If not, a heavy vibration is usually caused by bad motor mounts.

Both are more likely if you have high milage >80K.

I thought I was the only one.

it sounds like spark plugs and/or air filter. on a 4 cylinder if one cylinder misfires the engine acts as if it wants to shutoff the minute you drop it in drive or reverse. it also takes a longer time to crank over in cold conditions. i'd replace the plugs (if haven't done so already) with bosch plat+4 or ngk iridium ix#zfr5fix11. they nice on honda/acura engines and have a very noticeable power increase especially on the 2.x engines.

check plugs as you pull them to make sure that they aren't wet if any are you may have another problem on your hands.

Plugs were replaced with platinum tip boschs 10k ago, filter is k&n that was cleaned at the same time.

But i will pull the plugs this weekend.

Those plugs will work fine providing they're matched for your car. I had Denso platinums in mine, had people fight me to the death saying that only OEM plugs will run ok. Swapped them out with the OEM plugs and there was ZERO difference in the way the engine ran. I would test the front and rear motor mounts to see if they hold vaccuum. A broken mount can cause all types of vibration and droning. You can also visually inspect the passenger side mount too.
