Engine Idle noise

Hi guys,

I'm new to this forum having just bought a second hand 2003 accord euro 6SMT, lowered, 18" G.max rims, Blue callipers. I've noticed that while idling and accelerating from low REV's, theres a ticking sound that seems to be coming from somewhere around the intake... I had honda listen to it and they said its the fuel injectors pulsating.... Now I've owned a couple of cars b4 the euro, all fuel injected and none of them made that sound. Is what honda's saying true ???? or should I try another dealer ?

thanks !

Both my Civic and Euro have that throttle body/intake ticking noise and have heard that this is normal for virtually all Honda car engines. Its just a design trait and nothing to worry about. :)

Thanks Euro dude ! you've just saved me a trip to another honda dealer !
I must say the worst thing about having bought my honda is having to deal with those dealers. They treat you like they know it all and you know nothing ! arghhhhh

Anyway thanks again !! :)

i notice this noise too, i think it's normal like euro dude said. Get some pictures of your euro up in the appearence/gallery forum :thumbsup:

Mine also has this ticking noise. Probably louder than everyone elses car. Hehe.

Thanks for all the replies ! I will have some photos posted up just as soon as I work out how to do it !

Thanks euro dude...
Pics have now been uploaded in the gallery forum !
Enjoy

I notice some tick noise from the engine or around the engine bay area...... after I track only for around 10 laps it. will this cause some serious issue at all? Should I go to Honda and ask him to fix it? Can I claim the warranty at all as I got some mods on my car like injec CAI, exhuast, coilover, brake..... (no engine work)

I never notice the noise until I stand next to my hood

How many kms has the car done, you might need a valve clearance adjustment..
