96 accord 4 cylinder engine vibration

Motor mount failure would be my guess. My '93 was about the same age as your '96 when it began to have motor mount problems. One mount (the rear?) is hard to see and is bad about crushing. But, this should have been the first thing the dealer checked. They probably did. If they did not, I would take it somewhere else.

Thanks for your info Elliot. Does the rear mount usually fail first? I?m not sure if It is liquid filled but the dealer should know.

Thanks again, Arnold

If I understand it right, the liquid filled mounts were used with automatic tranny models. My daughter's engine is vibrating a lot, and I suspect the rear mounts. (I'll take a look later this week when the Helm manual arrives.) The price on-line is pocket change more than $200 US apiece, but if that's what it needs....
