Hi new here, just got a 93 ls hatch back, car runs really well, but, while stopped at idle the steering wheel shakes up and down, does not do this while driving, only while stopped at a light or stop sign or just sitting in the driveway. When the ac is turned on it gets a little worse not much. Looking for a little help please.
OK I guess this is not the place for a first time car owner, I posted this Saturday, lot of views but no info for me, so what forum do I need to go to to get help.

Welcome to Club Integra! This is definitely the place to come for any help related to Integras.
First, a little more background about the car is helpful for people to try and track down a problem.
Basic info like mileage, maintenance, modifications, solutions you've tried, research you've done, etc. will help show what the problem could be.
Your problem is likely related to the motor mounts.
Maintenance info saying the mounts were replaced by you x miles ago eliminates them as a possibility. It is best not to rely on maintenance info from previous owners.
Modification info saying the car has solid (race) mounts points to them as the cause of the vibration, but eliminating the problem since solid mounts reduce engine movement and increase cabin vibration by design.

That being said, my best guess is bad motor mounts. When they go bad they will allow the engine to shake and move around more in the engine bay and cause vibrations most noticeable inside the cabin.

What are your rpms at idle, is it smooth?

Does your engine look like its idling smooth under the hood or is it all over the place?
