#1733 of 1936 01 Accord Rattle Noises by jakekoc Jun 09, 2009 (9:10 am)
Since 2-3 months ago, when I drive faster than 75 mph, I hear a very noticeable rattle noise from the front passenger side. I'm not sure where it exactly comes from, but it sounds like something is possibly loose and rattling around. Can only hear the sound above 75 mph, once I slow down, the noise is gone. Noise also fades in and out if I'm cruising at 80 mph, it is not a constant noise. I don't hear the noise during normal driving of 35-50 mph.    I took it to the dealer and they replaced the heat shield which didn't fix the problem. They also replaced a tie rod and bushings which also hasn't fixed the problem. Anyone know what could cause this rattle at high speeds?

Replying to: hbund216 (May 28, 2009 11:56 am) I guess that I had the same problem on my 02 LX 5speed as early as in 2003 (first manual car, living in Iowa, 12k mile / year). What I did in the middle of traffic was to shift it out 1st gear, release the clutch and try again. It usually would do the second time. Never mentioned the problem to dealer because I didn't think I can SHOW them what's wrong. I am still having the problem, but it happens once or twice a year. So I still keep the car. You definitly can talk to dealer. Replies to this message: hbund216 (Jun 24, 2009 10:57 pm)

Replying to: lucas123 (May 08, 2009 10:26 am)   This was written a while ago . . I don't know if it would apply to your situation.   The dealer never could diagnose the problem properly. Why? Well, because I drove the car there and since it was on and not in a "stalled state" the proper code never appeared. A new battery, tune up and ignition switch only made the dealer more money.    The problem was a bad FUEL RELAY SWITCH. Make sure that they check this component.    Bad fuel relay switch caused my car to stall at high speeds, low speeds, and in all weather conditions.    Good luck...I know how maddening the situation is.   http://autorepair.about.com/od/enginetroubleshootin1/a/honda_hot_start.htm

Replying to: mitchflorida (Apr 13, 2009 6:10 pm) my wife has a 2000 accord v6; she has a similar issue that only occurrs when its hot and after 2-3 re-starts. I'll have her try the fuel thing; do you recommend any certain fuel? I have replaced coil packs, plugs, mainrelay, ect value; none of these have helped. I'll try anything at this point. Its symptom is like a vapor lock.
#1738 of 1936 Accord 2002: Drive stick won't come out of PARK while holding break by jrsmooth Jun 22, 2009 (5:02 pm)
Hi all experts: started a few days ago, when my Accord 2002 is in parking, I can't get it out of parking while I was breaking until I try a few times. What I am saying is, when the car is in parking, normally I will have to hit and hold the break while I attempt to pull the stick out of PARK into D4, but started a few days ago, it will take me a few tries in order to get the stick out of the PARK. I would hear a click normally, that's when I know I can depress the drive stick and pull it out of PARK, but again, it will take me a few tries in order to hear the "click".   Help! Much appreciated!   --JR Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Jun 22, 2009 5:15 pm)

Replying to: jrsmooth (Jun 22, 2009 5:02 pm) Sounds like a sticking Shift Interlock solenoid or a funky electrical connection to it from the brake pedal switch. Remember most cars do have a little slot next to the gear shift where you can insert a screwdriver to release the shifter, should you get "stuck" sometimes.

Replying to: synai (May 12, 2009 9:30 am) synai - my problem hasn't happened again since that time. i think it had something to do with the weather. it was raining alot when it happened. someone suggested that it could be moisture getting into the distributor.   but i can't reproduce the problem (not that i want to)
#1741 of 1936 Re: 2000 Accord Manual Transmission Problem [alangp] by hbund216 Jun 24, 2009 (10:57 pm)
Replying to: alangp (Jun 09, 2009 11:15 pm) Thanks alangp. Checked around and it seems to be the 1st gear syncros. Basically it will require me to replace the transmission. What you explained works for me also. Another thing that works is to hold the shifter towards 1st (light push) and take up the clutch. The shifter moves into place smoothly. Have to say this is premature failure. I'll drive it until the wheels or transmission fall off and then get rid of it.
#1742 of 1936 1998 Accord, dying while driving and not starting when hot by savannah1 Jun 25, 2009 (3:53 pm)
Replying to: bradmaz (May 27, 2009 4:08 pm) i have replace the EGR valve, fuel injecter, got a tune up, replace spark plus, fuel cap, ignition switch, and catalytic convertor. After all that it has stopped dying when I drive. I would be on the interstate and it would just shut off! Sometimes i wouldnt even have to pull over, it would just come back on and keep going and sometimes i'd have to pull over and restart it. It is now giving me problems starting. I live in Louisiana and it has been a steady 90degrees-100 degrees. In the morning my car drives great on the way to work but, after its sat out in the sun all day and i try to leave it will noot start! I have to come back later at night when its cooled off to get it and it runs fine. People have mention the battery not having enough water or something to do with vapor?? has this happened to anyone and what to do to fix it? everytime i've taken it to a car place they seem confused Replies to this message: elroy5 (Jun 25, 2009 4:31 pm) savannah1 (Jun 25, 2009 6:18 pm) elroy5 (Jun 25, 2009 6:55 pm) dmunshower (Jun 26, 2009 6:16 am)
