Hello everyone,

After numerous hours of searching on google groups, I believe I have a
better understanding on my car. My car has 127K, bought it with 118.

I bought the car this past August and here is what I have done to it.
* Fuel filter
* oil change every 3K
* replaced both front hub bearings
* New plugs, cap, plug wires.
* Transmission Flush
*** The last three were done in the last month.

Now for the problems.

1. After the car has sat overnight (8-9 hours) and I come out to start
the car. I put the key in  and the fuel pump comes on and then goes off
like normal. I turn the car over and the car will continue cranking for
about 5 to 6 seconds without starting, and if it does start, its very
rough  like its struggling for something, then finally runs and idles.

                             * When cold say 10F to 30F I may have
crank the engine 2 or 3 times

                                before it starts.

Now here is what I do normaly now that the temps are starting to rise
in the morning.
I will turn the car over for about 5-6 seconds, then stop, then turn it
over again and it starts right up. Any ideas here? I also get the smack
sounds that hondas are known for when cold.

                             * After the car is started, mostly when
cold. The engine idles rough like         its going to quit, then I
give it some gas. It will idle rough like this for a good min or 2.
However after driven for say 5 min. I will turn off the car, and it
will start right up again when I   turn it over again, and the rough
idle is gone. Any ideas?

2. The next problem is vibration ONLY when I depress the accelerator.
In the morning though while the engine is still cold while im driving
around there will be no vibration.
                              * The vibration is right under 30mph. If
i go past it or under it its fine.

Now accelerating onto the highway, The acceleration is rough, and once
I get up to 55-65mph while depressing the accelerator slightly here and
there to maintain speed, there is vibration. As I accelerate to about
70mph, the vibration subsides a small amount. Past 70 mph the vibration
slowly comes back.

                               * The engine is at normal temp by now,
and it seems that once at this
                                   temperature, is when the vibration
starts.
                                * Most important!! When the car is at
normal temp. the vibration is felt
                                    from just under 30mph to 70mph.

Note, anytime I let off the accelerator and at any speed, the vibration
will go away.
Also I have a thinning rotor on the left front, could this be causing
any of this?
The dealer that sold me the car, said that the timing belt was changed
at 94K, though I have not found record of it.

Lastly I have had this car for about 6 months now and and these
symptoms have been the same, not getting worse, and maybe a bit better
with the tune up. I wanted to make sure I have all the details in here.

Thanks everyone

Kevin.
