hello. my car (5th gen SH) has an occasional to intermittent screeching type of sound coming from the engine bay or under the car (not sure exactly where) when i release the clutch and step on the gas to accelerate the car when its at complete stop. this noise only occurs when the car is in complete stop, release clutch to go forward in 1st gear or going reverse. the noise stops (i think) as i let out the clutch all the way... again, i cannot be too sure b/c this noise does not happen too frequently, but at most 30% of the time. this car has ~43000 miles on it. only modification is an aem short ram intake. recent repair work done was timing belt tensioner replaced under warranty from hondacare. thanks in advance for any replies

 

probably just a loose or worn accessory belt

 

slipping belt, thats my guess

 

thanks for replies guys. if this becomes too persistent i guess i should have honda check it out later on when i have free time.

 

I would take it back asap and have them tighten it up. I think its a loose belt as well and would bet that it was when they did the work on the tensioner. don't let too much time pass and give them the excuse of it "just happening" on its own.
