that is usually the right front motor mount in front by the belt pretty cheap fix,but I have seen that be a torque converter problem also ,converter not to common but I had a 2005 that happened but if you brake torque it it should go up to 2100-2300 RPM is a way to test the stators stall speed if its bad it will stay low like 1000 rpm ,the motor mount the most common vibration is cheap and easy to change,its normal for these engines to vibrate so when they transfer that to the frame ,that mount collapses and the engine drops a 1/2" and lays on the frame, it seems like a major problem when you hear and feel that but usually that wont be just at idle/ in gear, one way to test that motor mount is put a jack with a hockey puck or block of wood on it and put it on the oil pan and lift the engine a little and if the vibration is gone its that mount for sure,was it so bad you could feel it in the steering wheel?or throttle body cleaning and relearn if the idle is below 700rpm ,heres some pics of the fun i had the blue one is the bad one re manufactured 10k miles and the left one is an OE honda replacementMy wife and I were looking to purchase a 2013 EX-L but decided not to due to the vibration at idle when in drive, which is a bummer because we really liked the car. Is there any remedy to the issue or would it have been something we would have had to live with?
