Default my truck is no longer my DD!!!

Well I bought me a beater yesterday, its a 93 honda accord with 170,XXX miles on her, a/c blows cold air, heater works, manual tranny, runs good, and the most important thing, it takes 25 bucks to fill it up, just gotta tune it up tomorrow, I got this car on a hell of a deal, a whopping 430 bucks and she was all mine, so now the truck will be covered and left for the weekend driver, I think I got a damn good deal, just thought I'd share

I'm about 15 miles from work, my warranty is until the half of tank of gas I had in there when I bought it runs out lol,

And thx injected1, I'm tryin to fix the shaking right now, it shakes when I turn the wheel, I think it needs a new power steering pump

It shakes slightly when stationary, but a lot when I turn the wheel, its easy to turn, just vibrates a lot, and its not throwing any codes, I assume that's wat "pops" means

well if your moving hearing a poping/cracking sound its something else. I would do a tune-up and alignment first. Have you checked the fluid level? Honda's are bad about seeping fluid, and in 170k miles, it will go through a bit of fluid if it hasnt been changed. Also when was the last time the timing belt was changed?

Ok well I know its not the power steering making the car shake, I payed attention and when the car is at idle, it shakes but when I stall it to about 1000 rpms, the shaking stops, any clue what this might be? I changed the spark plugs, air filter, and ima change the oil tomorrow, any clues as to what might be making it vibrate?
