Have you been able to find out what is causing this noise? I have an 01 Accord and gett a smiliar noise when going over bumps going straight. I've had the dealer check it out and they think a strut might be starting to go bad.

All I can do is suggest that you get a repair manual for your car. Autoparts stores have Haynes or Chilton manuals for probably under $20. Definitely worth the price, IMO. It may help you again, if you have other problems with your car. I always get a shop manual for my own car, but it's an 03 (7th generation), and not the same as your car (6th gen). Good luck.

2000 Honda Accord LX Gas Paddle Sticky by ouyangl

I bought my 2000 Honda Accord LX new in 2000, after a couple of years the gas paddle started getting sticky when you start to car, after you first push, then it went back to normal.
 
I went back to the Honda dealer and was told it was a common easy problem and they cleaned something for free as it was still under warranty.
 
Now it is getting more frequent as it is getting older and Honda dealer would charge to do the easy cleanup, and they won't tell what the problem is.
 
Does anybody know what the problem is and where to clean so I won't have to bother to make appointment and pay to do this easy job?
 
Thanks in advance.

1998 Accord EX - security system / alarm malfunction by mazer

A few months ago, the OEM security system of my '98 coupe started going off at seemingly random intervals for no reason. When I lock the doors, within a few minutes or a few hours, the car's alarm will begin sounding, lights flashing, the whole bit.
 
I inspected all the door connection points, trunk latch, hood latch, and everything looks okay. The battery checked out as well.
 
I had the starter replaced about 2 weeks before the problem started (at a Firestone/Bridgestone service center) and wondered if that might have something to do with the problem. I took the car to a Firestone, where they could not immediately identify a problem. They refused to look at it any further because "they don't do electrical wiring" (except new starters, apparently).
 
I then took it to a Honda dealer, where they also could not immediately identify a problem. Further investigation (inspecting every single switch, wire, etc.) was going to cost $300-- and that was just to locate the problem, not fix it.
 
I took the car back home and pulled the fuse for the horn. So the alarm still goes off, but it doesn't wake anybody up, and the lights stop flashing after 3 minutes or so. It makes me nervous to not have a car horn, but I can't leave the car unlocked (I live in the city). Any ideas as to what might be causing the problem or who might be able to fix it?

99 Honda Accord V6 Engine indicator ON by accordv61

Dear Everyone, couple of days ago, the engine service light is on, my mechanic help me remove the code and told me come back if the light is on again (he told me some sensor 's problem, not clear). Today the light comes back, so drive to Autozone, check it for free, the code says "XXX water pump" (sorry not familiar with cars). How many water pumps in a car? is that one close to the timing belt?
 
My millage is 86K, I want to drive for two more yrs to get the timing belt changed. If I don't want to change the water pump, will it damage my engine? What should I do ?
 
Appreciate for any suggestions. Thanks again.

I don't think there is any code that would specifically point to the water pump? The pump is not electrical, and there are no sensors that would get a code from the water pump itself. You need to get this checked out, IMO.
