engine rattle
i get an annoying engine rattling sound everytime it idles, someone suggested it might be a broken torque mount. would this be the problem. also iv noticed the speedo jumps up when i give it abit of gas sumtimes, could this be the result of the broken mount?
-
from experience on my cousins accord, when her engine mount was broken, its more of a slight thumping sound/sensation as opposed to a rattling sound. this only occurs when accelerating/decelerating though.
is this problem only on idle?
-
u can hear it most on idle cuz its quiet, but i think i still hear it when im in gear to. might be the cam gear or sumthing. i bought the car like 2months ago, and the old owner really drove it hard. so im not suprised if the mount is broken.

i dunno if ek1's have a tensioner on it...but my gf's corolla had the same symptoms and ended up to be a loose tensioner...

rev jumps up when u give gas? isnt that normal? try cleaning ur throttle body to start with ...
as for ur rattle... pop ur bonnet when the car is on idle... see if u notice any unusual moment of the engine itself... also try pull the throttle cable abit... see if there s more movment then it shoudl have... if it rocks a fair bit.. u might a a broken mount...
-
as |N| has stated check your bay if it rocks heaps then your mounts are gone.. this happened to my accord once
-
In my dads old accord when one of his engine mounts was gone, it thumped really noticeably didn't really rattle
-
keep ur hand brake up, put it in gear and rev it. if it thumps still sounds like ur engine mounts. but it could be ur keys cos i thought i had a rattle in my engine but it ended up being my keys.

rev's will jump when u give it gas, but if u r parked the Speedo should stay down.
I dont kno what would make the speedo jump, i kno i had problems when the speed sensor went in my old falcon (electronic dash - speedo,rev's,etc) but my speedo just went dead, didnt jump or nething.
maybe fault behind the dash, the slight voltage increase fom revvin the engine is doin it, i doubt it would be the altenator, regulator on the alternator, or coil.

if thats the case.. take the VSS out from ur gear box... give it a clean .. put it back in .. .reset ur ecu.. then do a ecu code test...
see if u get any error code and go from there

thanks for all the input, ill give all ur suggestions a ago. the rev meter is fine, its the speedo. when im going like at 40, if i gas it. sumtimes it jumps up to lke 100km/h and back down.
btw how do i do the ecu code test?
thanks

there is a plug behind the glove box. one with 3 pin and the other with 2 pin...
u need to look at the one with 2pin
get a clip or something... bypass it
use the clip to make a U shape and connect the hole on the 2pin plug together then turn ur car key 2 clicks... where all the lights come on...
if sucess u should see the yellow engine light come on...
if it flashes its givign u an error code.. if it stays on means there is no error...
there is a DIY thread on it somewhere here... do a search ,, i m too lazy to search
