Just received second opion on my Honda today and was told that I had an internal engine problem. Something has come loose or missing...52,000 orignal miles on it.

Anyone else ever had this problem with their Honda with low mileage?

 

Um......more information.....
What part?

 

Told me that they would have to tear engine down to find what's causing the problem, it sounds like something is hitting against something. I have no oil leaks, no dummy lights come on, trans is shifting smoothly, just loud tapping and squealing noise at times.

 

Without knowing anything about the car, maintenance history, etc it's impossible to guess.

Could be valves kissing the piston, who knows.

 

I know they find it odd too and at such low mileage. Always had mainteance down on it too! Oh me! Oh My...

 

You ever change your oil?

 

As required

 

As required by mileage or by date?

it's ironic how this topic comes up just as someone posted in another therad that the age of an engine has no bearing on it's performance. "It's the mileage that matters"...lol this is a perfect example of that age and maintenence matters just as much as mileage.

If I were to guess at what it was, based on the small amount of information given, it would be a spun bearing due to poor oil quality. But that's going off no physical evidence. I haven't heard the knock nor do I know the maintenance of the engine.

 

Egg salad

 

Thanks, will keep you posted. But I think you may be real close.

 

dude if you are doing proper maint on your engine age doe NOT matter. A grandma could have a 69 chevy that she drives 10 miles each way to the market once a week and as long as she did the maint as required, then engine would still be in perfect working order today with about 32K on it........my uncle had 2 1956 cars a chevy and a pink caddy with less than 50K on them back in the arly 90s and both engines were original and worked just fine

While 52K miles on a '96 honda is rare, it does not mean the engine is toast because it is 13 years old....by your thinking my 94 honda with 168K on it would be on it's last leg becuase it is 16 years old.....for all we know it could have been a manufacturering defect in the motor.

 

Dude..... all I'm going to do is quote what I already posted.....

Slowly untwist and remove panties from ***. RTFP

 

is your engine knocking?

 

Knocking and sounds like mental hitting mental

 

52000 original miles? that doesnt seem right, thats 4k a year. so im going to guess its knocking with a spun bearing. maybe its not but anytime you have someone tell you its something loose in the engine, just realize thats going to be a new motor, especially for a f series too comon and cheap to not just replace

 

I might just sell the vehicle, I'm estimaiting 1800.00 to replace.

 

Take it to a difference shop to have it diagnosed?

 

Guess that's what Im going to do.It's just sitting now.

 

Well it's a lifter and rod...now for sale at 2500 or best:

 

Ahem,

Honda's (other than the '95,96 V6) do not have lifters.
What rod are they speaking of?
...and what did they give you for an estimate?

OK I apologize for piggy-backing this thread but I am new to this site and cannot start my own thread. I was just wondering if anyone knows where I can find a diagram of the in dash fuse box (including relays) for a 96 Accord EX 2.2L. Or if anyone knows the part number for a starter cut relay for that model please let me know. I have been unable to start my car and when I tested it I am not getting power to the starter (smaller wire) but when I turn the key I am getting voltage through the starter fuse under the dash. Any ideas what else I should check? And once again, my apologies for interrupting this thread...

 

...ughh....the big button at the top of the page that says "NEW TOPIC". Try that one.

 

Thanks Doc but new members are not allowed to start new threads until they have been here for 15 days and have at least 5 posts.

My mistake, i need to learn how to read

 

so go make 5 posts, and wait 15 days, but dont jack someones thread. i could see if it was somewhat relevant to this dudes thread, but you were no where near close.

and of the OP. I would say, swap the engine out. If there was really that little mileage on the car, then everything must be in great shape, minus the whole engine deal. F22's are a dime a dozen.
