I have an issue that is replicated 100% of the time, every time by following these steps:
Let's see if you guys have this problem or not.
2016 Civic EX-T - 30k Miles (but this issue started at around 20k miles) - Typically filled with 87 Octane except after an Oil Change where I would use 93 then gradually go back and stick to 87
- Turn on the engine, let it heat up to normal operating temp. (Does not matter if A/C is on or not)
- Drive up to a stop light or stop sign and engage the automatic brake hold
- Turn around and look at your unoccupied passenger seat. Mine starts vibrating back and forth like crazy, its very visible that the back of the seat is shaking back and forth.
I checked my engine mounts and they are still good. It is not an engine mount issue. This last tank I fuelled up with premium 93 and tried to recreate the steps, but noticed the seat doesn't vibrate nearly as much.
I am wondering if my fuel injectors have build up on them or if it is something else. However, I only fuel up at top tier name brand gas stations. Typically Shell and Chevron, so I do not know if I am grasping at straws here. What do you guys think? Took it to the dealer and they said its normal for it to do that, but I am not buying it.
Update: My tank of 93 octane is down to a 1/4 tank now and it is exhibiting the same behavior some of yall mentioned earlier, where it idles low around 600 rpm, and goes back up to 700 rpm when AC is on. Wasn't doing this before, but now it is. I wonder if Honda has a fix for this? I am still waiting to have time to try and clean the intake, and take it to dealer.
