Need a solution for vibration when idle

[Lannister]

My Car is a Honda Civic EK3 1998 Auto model & when the car is on idle mode it vibrates. The RPM fluctuate around 100-1000. When it closes 100RPM it get's worsened. It happens in 'Drive' mode, also a little in 'Parking' gear. Kindly need a fixed solution for this since I bought the car few days ago.

First of all welcome to the forum..

Assuming a proper tuneup has not been performed recently, i would suggest you to start with it. Probably this could be due to clogged IACV or injectors as well. During the tuneup make sure to check all related components and clean/replace them accordingly..

Thanx PrefMad, well I'm hoping to do a engine tune up since most said to do it, & will it be solved by cleaning injectors during engine tuneup? & doesn't CVT gear oil have a play with this vibration?

Better start with the Tuneup. My guess it should resolve your issue. Do you have any hesitations while changing gears? meantime get your gearbox oil checked as well

No.. there are no issues with changing between gears.. but the previous owner said to change the gear oil since it already reached 25,000kms. Additionally I kindly I need to know when to change gear oil as well..

well , if that's the case you can change the gear oil as well with Honda recommended oil. Um not quite sure about the civic CVT multimatic gearbox, however in my fitaria i was advised to change CVT fluid in 20k intervals. but i usually does it around 15-18k to be on the safe side.

if you have a Stafford workshop close to your place, i would suggest you to do the oil change their, their labor cost will be around 1500 and they usually have the recommended oil as well

Hey, @PerfMad I did the tuneup with a Stafford guy, what he did was cleaning the throttle body & Changed Gear Oil, Engine Oil & Oil Filter as well. Checked & cleaned Spark plugs too. At that time, the vibration issue was solved. RPM stayed 800-900. But after few days, It affects once again. Today I felt it more. & RPM is dropping. What should I do. Where can I solve this problem?

Hey whats the latest update? Sorry couldn't followup.

[Lannister]

Hey, @PerfMad Thanx for being alive on the post. Yet it stays like so, Rumesh said to clean the PCV valve & yet I couldn't do it. Checked again with a Mechanic & calibrated ECU. Now it relieved a little & I'm sure that won't be a permanent solution. & the mechanic said to check the engine & gear box mount. Now I'm on to that.

Great keep us posted. And as Rumesh mentioned better to check those small bits and pieces before going into major repairs.
