Euro startup sounding like a diesel engine

Hi,
my accord euro '05 lately has been starting like a diesel engine (the sound of a diesel 4WD startup)..is it because of my 80k service is coming up or is it normal..
Also i have been experiencing some power loss on highways 100k..where going up a slope now it kicks down sometime 2 gears where i recall a few months back, no issue..
possible air filter is dirty?

Fuel injectors.
Try some injector cleaner.

Doubt it is the injectors. I'd put my money on a worn out timing chain tensioner and that the valve clearance needs adjustment.

well looks like the 80k service does include valve clearance. Ok thanks.

If they find that the valve clearance is within spec, then get them to check the timing chain tensioner.

i noticed on the service interval manual, it states they will also check the accessory drive belt. What drive belt is this? Where is this located? Just curious.

Will it cost extra to adjust adjust the timing chain or how much to replace it?

timing chain to replace is damn expensive!! alot of labour! but they shouldnt need to replace te chain, no way! they last for ages... possibly the tensioner, but that easy as to do...

the drive belt is the one that goes around all the pulleys on the driver side of the engine :thumbsup:

Further to and as an enhancement to EURO03act reply, the accessory belt does not drive the cam shafts.
