I have a 94 Integra RS, 2 door, 4 speed auto transmission.
For awhile now, at least since last winter, the car will occasionally shake. It seems to be coming from the front, I think toward the driver side tire.
It's an intermittent shake, usually pretty moderate, although very occasionally it will get somewhat strong. It never happens when the car is started cold - usually doesn't happen unless the car has been running at least 25 minutes.
Generally, it'll shake when trying to accelerate but also when going at a steady speed, coasting, and stopping. It'll usually start with accelerating, usually from a stop, I don't really notice it when accelerating while already moving. It'll shake for awhile, not only when accelerating but when coasting and braking as well. Generally I can feel it the most when braking.
Most of the time it will go away after stopping though. If it shakes and I come to a full stop, it'll drive fine afterward, unless it happens again later.
Once or twice awhile ago it was somewhat stronger and lasted until I shut the car off and let it cool down. When I got out of the car it seemed that heat was being radiated from the front driver side wheel. This was a very rare occurrence, however - it has not happened in about 5 or 6 months.
At first I was thinking rotors, but it doesn't seem like it should be rotors if it's happening when I'm not braking. The rotors aren't old - maybe a year and a half. I haven't checked, but I don't think they should be the problem.
Any ideas? It's not a huge issue so far - it has not gotten worse and is pretty moderate, seems to go away on its own. But nevertheless I'd rather not make things worse. It's not worth putting a whole lot of money into the car, and I'm pretty set on driving it into the ground one way or another. I don't drive more than 200-300 miles a month anyway.
