This is what I have done and it seems to have helped. My finger is pointing at rubber tabs to help absorb the vibration. On the upper and lower hose clamp I moved it to the right to go over new rubber and that seemed to help with the hose vibration.

All of the clips looked fine however the lower AC bracket did seem to be a little off nothing much I will work on it in the morning. However, how do you see if motor mounts are getting week.

[quote=”wysetech” post=116946]Either the engine/transmission mounts are getting weak or you have an A/C hose or line that is touching the body somewhere. It’s not uncommon for clips and or line brackets to get broken or out of place in an older vehicle.
The higher the high side pressure is the harder a time the A/C compressor has to work. Be sure the condenser is clean and free from debris and that the cooling fans are both working.[/quote]
Great! Thank you for the quick reply! Will do and will leave feed back on what it is.

I like the long also, it’s more step by step and for a weekend warrior that’s best!! However, if doing shorter means more video’s than by all means cut them down!

[quote=”EricTheCarGuy” post=109574]Those numbers look good. I would replace the plugs though. They look old. Use the same brand and type. Also consider replacing the cap and rotor. Leave the wires along if they’re Honda. The Honda wires last forever. You run into problems when you replace them with aftermarket stuff. That is unless they’re NGK wires. Those work pretty good too.
Honestly, if you change the oil on a regular basis and keep an eye on the temp, you shouldn’t need to worry about loosing compression for a good long time. Honda makes a good engine, and the one you have is one of the better ones. As long as you maintain it, you shouldn’t have much to worry about.[/quote]
Eric:
Thank you for the reply and I have replaced the spark plugs. The Internet is a great tool. However, if you’re not sure what you’re looking for I can get rather confusing extremely quick. So, I was a little concerned when I would see video or forum post that would show compression numbers in the low 200s to mid 250. Needless to say I was getting a little concerned. However, if I’m understanding this correctly. It’s all relative what you’re looking for is consistency across the board. On a sidenote looking through your forum I think I might have found how to keep that smooth consistent idol when the AC kicks on. I think the dealership tighten the AC belt too much so, I loosened it up and it seems to have smooth that out. Or it could be I have a slight vacuum leak and I’m going to try what you recommended in the video.

I just had to share this I thought it was great. She cannot say Eric, but she’s saying “Eric I work Eric I work.”
