2005 Honda Accord 4 cyl 84000 miles

2005 Accord LX, 4 door. 4 cyl with 84K. There is a strange vibration that is quite noticeable at around 2000 rpm AND at around 60 mph. The vibration is present ONLY WHEN the gas pedal is pushed upon and MORE NOTICEABLE when the engine has to work more (such as going uphill, and not when -for instance- it is going downhill).

All in all, the vibration is only present at the 5th (automatic) gear and between 57-64mph (AND when pushing on the gas pedal).

I believe this is not a wheel balancing / alignment issue since it is nonexistent when you are not pushing on the gas pedal. PLEASE HELP!

Check your power steering pump!
If you haven't change the fluid, change it, and if it is still have the same problem, you need to replace it.
Many cars have this problem when the power steering pumps are getting old. I had 2 diffrent cars with the same problem in the past.
