Hi,

I have Honda Accord 2005, 4 cyl. At about 6000 miles the engine developed a low pitched howl. You can hear it while the engine is running; you can hear it for a sec when you stop the engine. Why is this and how dangerous is it?
Another thing – it does not howl on a cold engine, only after the engine warms up…

TIA

Check to be sure there is an air filter installed.

You're under warranty, take it to the dealership.

I know it… I just don’t want to be said that this is supposed to be that way

90% of the time it is an intake issue.
Either you are missing the filter or you have water in your resonator box. Sorry i misread the mileage

Well, as far as I can say it howls around an intake area... But how come it howls only on a warm engine?

good question. get a 8mm socket, long extension and a 1/4 ratchet and pull the air filter cover off.

could it be a belt??? take it to the dealership while it is doing this problem that's my 2 cents

Well my honda's water pump just went and before that there was a bit of a howl to it, maybe it was crying lol. BTW 91 Accord 150k

What possibly am I looking under the filter cover?
