Hey Scotty,

I recently bought a 2008 Honda Accord with 111K miles in good condition 

Engine and transmission are smooth but there is one issue which i couldn't figure out, when accelerating from a full stop there is a harsh noise and which causes the plastic to rattle, I don't think its the engine mounts as when standing still the vehicle has no vibrations at all, only when engine reaches 2K-3K RPM could this be exhaust related?

Has a visual inspection of the mounts confirmed this finding? Also they could still be damaged even if your vehicle has no vibrations at all at idle.

Check your fuel delivery. Are you getting spark? Fuel injectors firing properly? Fuel filter clogged?

Go on Youtube and watch Scotty's video. Do a search for Finding the Source of Car Noises. Scotty. In that video, he shows you. how to pinpoint noises in your car.
