Hi,

latelly I had some problems with my d16y7 96 civic coupe.

The car does this strange noise when idling with warm engine and only when its not moving (stoped for red light etc.). So i.e. when going on a road with neutral gear and rpm on the idle, there is no noise what so ever, but once you stop you from time to time get this.

I cleaned the intake and the IACV, which made the problem to be occouring not that often. I also ajusted the idle a little, which also made the problem less evident. But I start to feel that I should look also somewhere else.

When I did open the hood and listen to the engine itself, there were no strange noises what so ever, but inside the car I get this.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

bad sensor maybe

master88

which one? :O

MAP? IACV?

zoepmp

do you have a check engine light ?

master88

¨

no

zoepmp

then its not the sensor, mine was doing that at times, it could be something relating to your head. try doing a compression test and see what the results say

I was thinking it might be running just on 3 cylinders but it doesnt sound like it... and if it did so, it would be doing this noise also when going on neutral gear...

Ill try to do the compression test next week, thanks zoepmp.

so it only does it when you are sitting and off the throttle?

Also does the car shake at all?

master88

yes and yes (basically the shifter shakes more, but the car itself not so much, but ye)

Maybe the belts are worn out?
