Ok, so I'm sure many of you have heard my horror stories about my car. (2 weeks after I got it my exhaust cam broke-in shop for 2 weeks-. 1 week later, hydraulic tensioner goes out, valves are mushrooming, and spring breaks-in shop for 2 weeks-. 9 days later, (today) a tooth breaks off of my timing belt, i notice that a tooth is missing off of my power-steering belt, and my car is ideling REALLY bad-.... So, if any of you with accords are having trouble like this, please, please let me know what you did, or what ever... If anyone knows anything about what this might be. Please help. I have many ideas, but I want to get an over-all opinion. Thanks

 

You should be using the manual tensioner from an H23, that should resolve your timing belt breaking off teeth issue

Skunk2 valve springs suck....

Where are there teeth on a power steering belt?

How much time have you had on a dyno? Get some kind of engine management, triple check vacuum lines and make sure you have no Cels. With those cams im sure you are going to need to play with cam timing obviously.

Can you give us any more specifics?

And next time Natalie, leave out the F*ck H22s as the title of the thread, it doesnt help out the search function

 

ok, I am using the h23 mechanical tensioner, had that on since the last time. Sorry, I'm the dumb a@@ that kept saying timing belt, but meaning alternator, sorry about that (dumb blonde moment). There are 4 ribs on my power steering belt, and one stripped off. I dyno'd my car once, just to get a guesstimate. So, it wasn't that accurate.
I just go the car back, and to my surprise... no vacuum leaks. Even the guy there was surprised, checked, but they were all good. I feel stupid for saying this, but idk the name of it, bc he didn't tell me... But, the problem was something to do with the idle control when the car turns on, and heats up. The part that keeps it warm when starting the car, was broke, so it had to heat up naturally, and that kept the idle high. So, they relpaced that part, and the belts, and adjusted the valves, so my car is running really good now...
