Really? The garage I go to usually lets me do that.
Anyways, I just wanna know how many hours it would take more or less.Really? The garage I go to usually lets me do that.
Anyways, I just wanna know how many hours it would take more or less.I have a 2000 Accord and I have the same exact sound. I notice it more after the winter. Most likely it’s just rust on the edge of the rotor scraping against the dust shield like Eric said.

Sounds a bit as if you are having an intermittent short circuit somewhere (faulty solenoid?) and when this happens it puts a lot of load on your alternator and brings your idle down.

Have you tried starting it with the accelerator depressed a bit? If you try with full throttle, the car will shut off the fuel injectors and unflood the engine if flooded.

Thanks Eric,
You’re probably right about those engine mounts; I’ve been suspicious of them for a while. I noticed the engine moves quite a bit when opening the trottle by hand and I also have lugged the engine more than a few times. I didn’t try the test you suggested yet but I will next time I get the chance.

Good thinking with the axle nut, at first that seemed like it could possibly be the problem.
However, today was much colder outside and as I started driving I heard the same noise but now I could clearly hear a noise like ice breaking or dislodging from the driver’s side rear upon harder acceleration. It’s confusing because sometimes I feel like I can hear it from the front too so I don’t know if I’m hearing two separate things. Even as I was driving, I could hear an obvious high pitched knocking or tapping (like loose plastic) coming from around that location (the driver’s rear). After driving for a while the noises start to disappear.
If it was the axle nut, would the noise start to disappear after driving for a while??
It almost sounds like suspension parts that are frozen stiff.

Thanks, I’ll give that a try when I get the chance. I don’t get any noticeable vibrations at speeds or noise while turning. I do have a slightly loose tie-rod on the left but I doubt that it’s what’s making the noise especially since I don’t hear it while jerking the wheel side to side. I also have a broken stabilizer link but I know exactly what that sounds like by now.
I’m starting to think that the noise is coming from the clutch pedal or master cylinder acting up in the cold weather.
