I own Honda Accord Special edition 1997
few month ago it started making weird noises coming from the engine bay. It sounds like its a woodpecker in the engine. It happens after I've been driving a car for 15 minutes, sooner in hot weather. Appears only when i press gas or break, goes away if i switch into neutral gear or park. Also sometimes when it's very hot and I've been driving for a while and then stop and turn the car off I can hear something boiling under the hood.
No lights on the dash appeared, no steam from under the hood and the arrow doesn't go pass the middle in temperature gauge. This problem doesn't have an obvious affect on performance, it seems to me at least.

 

Sounds like possibly spark or rod knock. How many miles, when was the last time it was serviced? What was the last major work done on the car? How long have you had it? etc etc.
Have you checked all your fluid levels, oil, coolant?

BTW


But if troll...

 

ok, let's see. I've had it for a year, I'm not sure about mileage because i have some issues with odometer but I think it's over 200K
It was serviced majorly last time after accident last spring. I'm gonna have it checked this week, I have no clue about fluid lvls, all I know that oil is not critical - the light is not coming on, and transmission fluid is fine, not sure about coolant tho
Thanks for advice

 

What was damaged in the accident and what was replaced/repaired?

The oil light is an oil pressure light, not a level light. With the car on a level surface and the engine off check the oil dipstick. Pull out the stick wipe it clean, reinsert pull back out and check, do this three times to verify the oil level is correct. If the engine was just shut off, wait a moment as the oil will still be draining back to the pan after engine shut off.

Oil should be a tan or light brown color. If it is black or smells of gasoline it needs to be changed as it lacks the correct viscosity to create an oil barrier that will lubricate the internal parts.

Coolant can be checked by looking at the reservoir located in front of the battery. Looking at the radiator, locate the radiator cap, note the small rubber hose, follow it to a white plastic reservoir there will be markings stating HOT COLD or ADD.

Locate noises by using the end of a broom stick handle, large screwdriver, pipe, etc, to where you think the noise is being emitted from. Place one end against the engine, or engine components, and the other over your ear. Obviously keep away from moving and hot components. Do not wear loose clothing that may get tangled in the drive belts.
