I have a feeling it will be the same on the ac bracket lower motor mount support on the driver’s side. I’ll double check the two top ones and that one on the rear, but I’m pretty sure those three are snug and are probably the primary support mounts of the motor and trany.
Thanks a lot for the help!

Hiya, just double checked and the shank isn’t snug either. I was told it’s normal and that I just have to tighten the 19mm nut and washer, but I’ll go ask the local dealership what they think to be absolutely sure.
Thanks!
Update: Still haven’t gone to the dealer today, but I ran into this add on ebay selling an old 93 transmission torque mount. Judging from the picture the nut looks offset as well which leads me to believe the looseness is designed that way. Either that or someone at Honda got lazy. My question now is putting a collar or sleeve on the shank to make it a little more snug and fit a good idea? If so what material would be good enough? I also have seen torque mounts without that bolt maybe it’s interchangeable. Any ideas?

The bolts that keep the support on the frame seem fine to me. It’s that rod like thing that hangs on the support that’s got me confused. I would assume that the column would have diameter matching pretty close to the size of the hole of the transmission support in which it hangs off of.
You can see from the picture that there’s a good 1/3″ of play going on in there.
Here’s the transmission mount arm that runs to the lower secondary mount.

Oh wow thanks. I guess I’ll check the rear tank for the fuel filter. This car has got over 150k km on it!

Just an update. It looks a lot like a purge solenoid or evap vent solenoid. I’m at a loss though as to why a fuel line would be running off of it. If it is when do you know to replace these things?

I’ve got this carburetor that sits up top the intake manifold, the kind that uses a pan to hold the ring filters. It makes adjustments mighty difficult when the pan is on there. Does anyone know what model carburetor this is? Anyhow I did some fiddling with the idle speed screw (circled in green) and the car began to idle nicely for about 10 minutes or so. I also noticed the vacuum actuator circled in brown move backward loosening the adjustment. Does anyone know what this is called and when or what conditions are met before it moves the idle speed adjustment screw back and forth? There seem to be no harm done to the idle at that point.
When I began to put the pan filter holder back on and connected the vacuum hose to it (circled in red) and tightened everything down it bogged down and died. I can actually get her to idle by adjusting the screw (circled in green) but it wasn’t as smooth as before. I can hear a hissing sound and my friend told me it’s coming from the break booster, but I can’t be too sure. A mechanic told me it’s the coolant in the AC thats equalizing the pressure, but I have my doubts.
Still searching around for a leak. But it seems my hoses might be shot.

This is the statement I was looking for.
“(throttle cable is never used to adjust idle)”
I pulled it from another forum.
http://www.hondaaccordforum.com/forum/diy-answers-28/setting-base-idle-speed-38734/So I’m guessing there’s something else wrong with my car and it isn’t the throttle cable at all.

Thanks a bunch. The idle problems section is actually the first thing I read on this site before I signed up. The video on the free performance upgrade by tightening the throttle cable by Eric is what got me a little confused as it had lead me to believe that despite the huge slack in the cable a carbureted engine may still be able to idle normally and taking up the slack would only have a direct effect on throttle response and not idling.
This has got me stumped because the car idles fine at low revs provided I keep a controlled step on the accelerator. It just dies when I let off the gas pedal completely. In any case I’ll do some more testing and see what comes up.
I’m just afraid that if I tighten the throttle cable to simulate that light step to keep the idle, it might be just a temporary fix.
