Car is making a chriping sound but i can only hear it at idle or at very low rpms. You think this could be related to the bad ivac, which I am changing most likely 2morrow

 

Do you have forged pistons? I"ve known some forged pistons to creat a chirp sound at idle.

 

No internals are all stock. Only mods on the car are h/i/e.

 

Could be your timing belt too.

Could indeed be the timing belt.

What else? .......hmm...............let me think

I would bank on the belt.

 

It could also be a bad pulley somewhere.

 

not to mention the flux capacitor... I think honda has a recall on those.

 

it sounds like its coming from the opposite side of the timming belt. The car has 120k on it. Timing belt was changed once im not sure when though.

 

Through out bearing? is one of your accesory belts wet?

How do you have your valve cover breather and PCV routed? You don't have them routed together by any chance do you? If so, that is your problem..

 

No the pcv is routed back to the IM. The valve cover breather is routed to the intake.

 

No i didnt notice them to be wet.

 

Does the noise react at all to you engaging/disengaging the clutch?

 

No its just if im at idle.

 

exhaust leak prolly, go under the car while its on (jack it up etc) and listen for a leak

 

i think i have the same problem, its usually when im engaging / disengaging clutch at low rpms =o
