96 accord 4 cylinder engine vibration

I have an engine vibration coming up through the gas pedal when I apply the gas.Its there through all speeds except when the engine is idleing.The mechanics at the dealership can't find the problem.Timing has been checked.
Could there possibly be a motor mount failure?

Motor mount failure would be my guess. My '93 was about the same age
as your '96 when it began to have motor mount problems. One mount (the
rear?) is hard to see and is bad about crushing. But, this should have
been the first thing the dealer checked. They probably did. If they
did not, I would take it somewhere else.
