Hopefully when your done checking all that stuff out you will have solved your Honda's idle problem, if not leave a comment or send me a message and I'll see what I can do just make sure you have tried all the stuff in the videos first as that saves me from typing so much.
I also want to add my "Idle Speech" into the mix here: http://www.ericthecarguy.com/forum/8-Service-and-Repair-Questions-Answered-Here/41475-solving-honda-idle-issues-rough-idle
There are a lot of things that can contribute to an idle issue, in fact in the end it may still be there to some degree because of the nature of that engine however here are some things to start with.
First start with a good tune up, use NGK or Nippon Denso plugs, don't change the wires if they are OE, if they aren't OE you might consider NGK wires as they are very good and less expensive then OE. A quality cap and rotor should be good. A new air filter also helps.
Don't change the PCV valve, if you see an aftermarket PCV valve in there put a Honda in, believe it or not I've seen idle issues caused by aftermarket PCV valves, the OE's last just about forever so you can easily justify the expense.
Next a good valve adjustment, this goes a long way to smooth out the idle if done correctly, mess it up and things can get a lot worse though.
While you have the valve cover off check the timing belt tension, if you feel a lot of slack this can cause the cam to 'chunk' as it spins causing a rough idle. If you think the belt has been on there for some time then you might consider changing it and resetting the tension properly, if it's not ready for replacement you can reset the tension to take up the slack.
DO NOT adjust the idle screw under any circumstances, it is set at the factory and that is the reason it was sealed in the first place. If you find that the seal has been broken and you have a low idle and you have done all of the above then you might turn the screw out a little to see if that helps the idle but only enough to try and bring it back to where it was before it was adjusted in the first place.
Last clean the screen in the Idle Air Control valve, this can get clogged up with carbon over time and cause the flow through it to be restricted which can cause idle issues.
If you still have a 'rough' idle after all of this THEN look to the engine mounts as you want to be sure the engine is running correctly before you go for those as the one in the back is a real pain to replace.

Honda No Start? POSSIBLE Main Relay - EricTheCarGuy
Honda No Start? POSSIBLE Main Relay - EricTheCarGuy
http://www.ericthecarguy.com/default.aspx
Here is a GREAT website article about soldering these I strongly suggest you check this out before doing this repair.
http://techauto.awardspace.com/mainrelay.html
The first of the "Quick Tips". I think I'm going to throw one of these in from time to time to keep things lively. So if you have a Honda or Acura that is not starting DUE TO LOSS OF FUEL PRESSURE this is a good place to start. You may be able to repair the main relay normally found under the dash on the drivers side. If this helps great remember me fondly and pass my name along because I just saved you at the very least about $80, at the most $200.
I will be upgrading my website very soon, in fact I will post a video when it is up. Cool new things on the horizon for ETCG and YOU the viewer. So if you want take a look at the old site because it's days are numbered.

Some suggestions I have heard is to rebuilt the engine with a higher compression. Cam suggestions? Valves? Head? Headers? Intake? Fuel Rail? Help me out!
Hope you enjoyed this video!

1998 Toyota Camry LE Bad Piston Bearings/Rod Knock And Lucas Oil Additive
This 4 cylinder Camry developed an engine knock most likely Rod Bearings, but could also be a bent rod. Oil change revealed metal shavings in the oil. But the motor still starts and runs.
We know this car received regular oil changes at higher than recommended intervals and was well maintained. It had just had the timing belt changed about two weeks before the problem started. We believe it is likely the infamous oil gel problem found in many Toyota engines.
This is an attempt to reduce the noise or help in some way using Lucas Oil Additive and a High Mileage oil. But is 135K high mileage for this car? And could something this simple ever work?

97 Honda 2.2L Odyssey Accord starting problem when engine is cold
This is my 97 Honda Odyssey 2.2L ..same engine as the Accord.
The problem is that the engine is hard to keep running after the initial start.
It takes mutable tries to get the engine to keep running.
The engine reving is me on the throttle trying to keep it alive once it finally starts.
So its not that its surging on its own.
After about a minute I can take my foot off the gas and it will run fine..seemingly after some heat has built up.
Though after it finally starts it will run absolutely fine..to the point there is
no indication that there is a problem what so ever...doesn't even run ruff,stall,or have a loss of power...I mean it runs perfect and starts every time.
(after it has finally started and warmed up.)
I have let the car sit for aslong as 6 hours...and it will start right up.
If it sits more than 7 hours..same starting problem.
Im stumped..never seen such a thing.
I have changed in the last few days:
cap,rotor,wires,cleaned the IAC valve,Sea foamed the intake,new ngk plugs,
Someone please help...this is driving me nuts!! Thanks in advance
D16a6 Rod Knock
Opened my Mini-Me swap this week to find out what was wrong with the block. I was aware that either a bearing had gone bad or a connecting rod had bent.
this is what i found when i ripped the oil pan and cradle off!
p.s. That rod was missing its bearings all together. a few shards of metal were found in the pan, but the majority of the bearing is still missing..
P0401 Honda Accord, Cleaning EGR Passages - EricTheCarGuy
I know I'm jumping around but it will all become clear in the end, I hope. This is once again that same Accord that I worked on but this time I focus on cleaning the EGR passages. Over time these passages become clogged with what is called "hard carbon deposits", many speculate as to the origins of this material but it is in my opinion the product of condensation and carbon buildup inside these passages that seems to contribute to this problem. The fix is pretty straight forward as you can see but the diagnosis can be tricky at times. Sometimes the check engine light will come on for an EGR flow code, but on earlier models EGR flow is not detected by the ECU and in those cases it might manifest as a failure of an emissions test for high NOx emissions. When this is the case the symptoms sometimes include, surging on the highway or a misfire under load. For the most part EGR's are easy to check but there are some EGR systems that are very difficult to service and repair. All I can say is to consult with the service manual or a knowledgeable tech whenever you run into a system your not familiar with.

Just purchased 1993 Honda Accord SE Coupe. F22A6 engine with 348,000 KM's (216K miles). Valves recently adjusted but no difference to clatter. Engine runs fine; plugs proper colour; decent oil consumption but too noisy. Similar to other Accords of this vintage, so maybe typical of this genre.
