Hi Car buffs on the list, my wife drives a 1986 Honda Accord LX, and when she stops at a stop light or in traffic, the car shakes on and off.
I would say that it was about to stall, but it never does. It just starts to shutter periodically, almost rhythmically. I took it to a mechanic, and he says that the engine mounts have become loose with time. He also advises that it's nothing to worry about. Is there a way to tighten those engine mounts so it doesn't shutter when we stop in traffic? Since he says it's nothing to worry about, I trust him on this, but I would like to get it fixed for my own peace of mind. The car does not do this when it is in idle, only when it's in drive and reverse. The car is an automatic four cylinder. Any suggestions? Any help would be appreciated. Victor Gouveia
