Why is my car going below 1 RPM?

Sometimes my 1988 Honda Accord goes below 1 RPM after it has been in drive for about five - ten minutes. When it goes below 1 RPM, the car starts to shake violently and makes this very deep, terrible "dund dund" sound. If the RPM gets too low, the engine shuts off and I have to restart my car in order for me to drive it again. I'm just wondering why it is going below 1 RPM, why it is shaking, why it is making that noise, and how can I fix this to stop happening?

When you are that early in the pregnancy, the baby hasn't had a chance to settle into the proper "head-first" position for birthing. I remember my baby kicking me in the bladder and almost causing me to have an accident! It's quite uncomfortable, I know, but it's completely normal. If you are concerned about having twins, call your doctor and schedule your first ultrasound. I think they usually have you do one around this time anyways.

Good luck with your pregnancy and delivery! Gosh, how the time flies! Your car can't go below 1 RPM. The engine would be stopped. The "1" means one thousand RPM, and most cars idle below 1.

Your car has problems and needs repair, most likely a good old fashioned tune up. You mean 1000 RPM naturally, which is actually a bit high. Normal idle is more like 800. Needs a good going over, which is not worth the cost, as a car that old could have several issues. Unless it is an LXi it even has a carburetor, and if it does, that would be the first thing to verify if it is in working order. That would be 1,000 rpm's. Not 1 rpm. Honda's have a common problem with the valves getting tight and they need to be adjusted every 60,000 miles. Been getting your valves adjusted? There's also an idle speed air control motor that the computer uses to keep the idle where it should be. When the IAC motor goes bad the motor does what you say yours is doing. You need to find out if the car is running on all of it's cylinders. It may have a misfire from
the sound of all this. You just don't notice it at higher speeds.

Have it looked at.

Needs plugs, or air filter, or vacuum leak in hose, the list goes on…

Good Luck… Oh, and It's actually 1 x 1000 = 1,000 rpm or less with this problem…
