Meron pa pala ako naobserve kahapon, pag nagshift ako ng gear, may tunog na kakaiba (not the usual na pag di kumagat yung change ng gear), ano kaya un?

Pati pag nag-on ako ng aircon, may tunog pero pag patay wala, feeling ko sa fan pero baka hindi, any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

check mo mounting ng a/c compressor mo baka maluwag.

Thanks sir! parang nagmumumog o garalgal yung tunog... parang hindi vibration eh... pero patingnan ko na rin. may naexperience ka na rin bang ganito?

May it-it na tunog (parang fanbelt) pero mahina lang pagkatigil from drive, belts lang kaya un or iba pa kaya?

BTW, I have a '94 EXI M/T Accord.

Tapos may konting tulo ng langis, gasket lang kaya problem? dati naman wala.

thanks in advance.

Your car problem could be number of things.

Distributor. Not sparking properly
Fuel pump. Blocked or leaking.
Fuel lines. Blocked or leaking
Carburettor. Blocked or worn or sticking needles
Piston rings Worn.
Timing belt. Needs adjusting.
Some of these things should have been checked during a tune-up, but they don't always check everything.

Vacuum leak
Idle Air Controller (IAC)- not functioning you could try unscrewing it and see if you can clean it
EGR valve- stuck open check if it is dirty.
Vacuum leak - Also you can have air leak in the air intake or broken vacuum hoses- check those too(if brittle replace theme).

Also, your car should have an A/C idle-up valve that increases the idle RPMs when you engage the A/C. This is part of the vacuum system on fuel-injected cars, so on yours it's probably connected to or part of the carb. Check that and any attached hoses for clogs/tears.

You can DIY or bring it into your trusted mechanic to look at it and to ISOLATE the problem by checking one at a time those probable cause. Good luck!

Thank you sir!

Another thing, I hear a "fan-belt" like sound when I stop... but it's not that loud unlike a loose fan belt. I hear it at left side of the car (driver's side). Any idea?

ang alam ko dyan sir, pag A/T my frequency yata ng palit. ndi ko lang alam ang time intervals.

pero ang alam ko ulit, pag M?T sabay ang palit ng tranny oil sa clutch set.

whichever comes first:
- every 40T kms or 24 mos. as per maintenance sched, (new pa ang car)

you may want to consider a 20T kms or every year, if your car is 10yrs old
or opt for a 10T kms/6mos interval if 10 yrs up na.

alagaan lang sa palit ng tranny oil kasi mahal magpa overhaul ng auto tranny, even replacement will cost you around 20-25K.

you're welcome. i use a 6 mos/ 10T interval using genuine honda atf Z1 (drain/refill) para mabilis mapalitan yung old atf ko which i don't know kung ano ginamit ng prevoius owner. i expect a thorough (closest to 100%) replacement of the atf on Sept 2010.
