Car Forum / Honda Cars / May 2006High Pitched Whistle Under Load?
I've not really looked into this one but just wondered if anyone has come across this before? Accord 2.2 vTec auto, when accelerating under load a high pitched whistle is noticable from the engine area at precisely 2000 - 2300 rpm, both below and above this engine speed the noise is not there. Also, it only seems to hapen under load, when accelerating on a downward slope, the noise doesn't occur. Any ideas before I have to get my hands dirty?? Cheers A whining in the Honda Element was discussed in the EOC [Element Owners Club] online...similar circumstances to your situation...I believe it was the power steering fluid circulation, or loose hose, etc. > I've not really looked into this one but just wondered if anyone has come > across this before?

Be sure to wipe the inside of the air box SPOTLESS before you restart it. You'll know right away if you've found something.

The car is a 1997 model and it's just done 70k miles. > I've not really looked into this one but just wondered if anyone has come > across this before?

Check and see if you have a homeless bosun squatting in your engine compartment. ;) nb Did you find the problem?. I have a Honda Civic 97 with a similar problem. I took it to Honda, they checked everything and they dont know what's wrong.

Let me know please almo, I'm still working on this one, I've narrowed it down to it being a vacuum leak, I've sourced the vacuum system diagram for the correct model and should get round to some serious digging around soon. I'll report any of my findings here, don't worry... |
