What rpm are you idling at?

[billybmxer13]

roughly around 750 now, my buddy raised it to about 1500 to get it to stop shaking but i lowered it becasue 1500 is too high, this guy told me that its the mounts and i should get my idle raised by using a computer

Omg, go and look at them if you think they are bad!

I don't know what your buddy was thinking, that's not really a good idea... Stock idle should be between 700-800.
YES go check the mounts!

The shaking is only at idle, correct? At any power band while moving, it's not doing anything that's strange?

^^^ yeah, honestly , it's easy to just go pop the hood. Also have you removed your balance shaft belt? Or changed the timing belt yourself lately? And as stated above the idle should be at 700-800, no need to change it from there.

balance shaft belt may have broke.

Yeah thought that too, but its pretty common for us on here to have that mod, so didn't suggest it. But definitely somewhere to look too. Also I would be looking at timing, plugs, wires and dizzy. But to be honest, some more info on exactly what is going on will help us help you. Like the work you've done to it recently, or your super awesome friend, and anything else thats happening.

I am normally really nice but how stupid are you? Look at them. If they are broken then they are bad, If you cant even tell if you have a bad mount you should not be working on your car.
If your car is a A/T then set the parking brake and put your car in gear and see if your motor moves alot and if it shakes... That normally means you have bad mounts.

Its not a mod. Its stupid people making there engines run ruff. They think its less mass for the engine to turn so they will get more power if they cut the belt. I only vote delete them if you are doing a build.

Do you have a misfire or something that is causing your car to run ruff there for making it shake?

[GhostAccord]

Removing the balance shaft belt does not make your engine shake at idle. They are used to counter higher rpm vibrations not actual engine shakes. It was put in so that the old farts wouldn't be able to feel the slight vibration at certain RPMs.

OP,
Do not adjust your RPM's for broken mounts. Replace them!

Everyone lets let this thread die not,he knows what to do...I hope.

Normally nice? On the real and no disrespect, you seem hostile in almost every post you make. I dunno if I miss the ones where your being nice or your mistaken, but I see a lot where your edgy to the OP or other members posting.

And I for one HAVE done the MOD, Yes it's a mod. And my car shakes a tad at lower rpms, but the throttle response is better and it helps on the top end. I don't know where your getting your info from, but I disagree with it.

And maybe he doesn't know enough about cars or as you stated too lazy. So what, give him a couple of ideas and if he won't listen or accept the help, stop posting on his thread, pretty simple. He came here to ask a question and got shit on by the usually nice guy.
