Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

    rough idle ... bad brake booster?

    My girlfriend just bought a '93 10th anniversary with about 130K on it. Anyway, since buying it she has noticed that it idles extremely rough in gear with the brakes on (like at a light). I think she said it goes away after the car warms up though. I've driven it and it does vibrate pretty exessively (you can see the hood shaking) compared to any of my accords. I've seen many threads and a common check is for a vaccum leak. Is there any good way to check for this? The fact that it does it when the brakes are applied makes me think that the booster might have something to do with it (although the brakes work fine). Maybe it is just because the booster is taking more vaccum away. I know other suggestions are bad motor mounts and the IACV. Most people suggest vacuum leaks though and I wanted to rule that out first. Of course, any suggestions would be appreciated.

    thanks.

    Its prob the booster itself. I have the same problem im just too lazy to change it out. And on our honda's its normal for it to shake excessively. Your asking a 4 cylinder to handle A/C and all that stuff hence why it shakes violently. Thats why biger cars with bigger displacement when you throw on A/C and whatever else its a lot smoother and doesnt shake to where your teeth fall out.
