    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEz297bPMYc 04 type s ^^Heres the video of the sound. This is at about 35mph. At lower speeds maybe around 15 the sound is louder with more time in between. Higher speeds it kinda blends together and is less noticeable. Doesn't make the sound when revving...
  2. Problems & Solutions RSX
    As stated above when the AC is engaged there's a drop in idle and a terrible knocking, A/C still blows cold etc. I searched around but couldn't really find anyone with a working A/C that has this issue https://youtu.be/-ktw8gAwgPM Incase its needed, its an 06 base model and had the ac...
  3. Problems & Solutions RSX
    I'm not sure what is causing this, and it only ever happens under load, which seems like an odd prerequisite for a knocking noise. Video here. You can hear it briefly every time I press the throttle. The engine itself only has 80K on it. Guesses: Piston slap? Spun bearing? Timing chain...
  4. Problems & Solutions RSX
    So just recently I've noticed a squeak when I downshift. I just had the trans replaced about a few months ago, along with a new shift kit and had the fly wheel resurfaced. While all that happened I went ahead and upgraded my clutch to an ACT Stage 3 comp 6 puck, mainly just because I needed a...

    Hey all, First, 2002 Type-S, 169k, basically all stock. Intake and exhaust no Kpro or anything like that. So last fall, I was participating in an autocross event, when sudden downpour ensued mid-run. By the time I crossed the timing light, the red flags were out and the rest of the night was...
  6. Transmission & Drive Train RSX
    04 type-s / DC catback,/ DC shorty header,/ AEM shortram. / 97k miles Alright, so I've got a tricky one for you fellas. I've taken my car to 2 shops, and had car junkies look at it and none of them can figure it out. There is a squeak/door creaking squeal like sound coming from under the hood...
  7. Problems & Solutions RSX

Now I'm having more problems 1. cluster gauges don't light up 2. taillights don't come on 3. parking lights don't light up (low beam nor when...
  8. Problems & Solutions RSX
    I have a 2002 rsx base, my fender seems a little odd compared to other rsx's. Anyone know what the problem may be?
  9. Problems & Solutions RSX
    I have an 03 Type-S with about 95k miles, KPro, I/H/E (Possibly stage 3/4 clutch and lightweight flywheel, previous owner can't remember for sure) and it makes a god awful noise when pulling out or reversing. Either way it does it, not all the time but nearly all the time on a slight incline...
  10. Problems & Solutions EP3
    My ac compressor will stay on with the ac button turned off occasionally. I've checked with the laptop connected to the Kpro and it does indeed stay on even with the button off and will sometimes engage the ac compressor depending on where the vent selector is set to. (IE: had it turn the ac...

    Back story: My battery died in my '02 Type-S and was out for about a week before I replaced it I attempted to re-register the one keyfob I have for the car. I follow these steps: Turn the ignition switch ON (II). Within 1 to 4 sec. , push the transmitter lock or unlock button with the...
  12. Problems & Solutions RSX
    So I fixed my 1k-2k rpm surge a while back when I got my k-tuned TPS However, I've noticed some more odd idle issues.. Sometimes (always when the engines cold) when I go into neutral and take my foot off the gas the RPMs will drop below my average idle, to about 300.. Almost sounds like it...
  13. Problems & Solutions RSX
    Hey all, So lately my car's been making this weird noise every time i brake. It's like a rhythmic thumping that seems to come from the front passenger wheel well. At first I thought the rotor was just loose and was hitting something, but it's been tightened down. I'm thinking its a ball joint...
  14. Problems & Solutions RSX

  15. Problems & Solutions RSX
    Hey everyone, I have noticed that after getting my first oil change (from 10W30 to 5W30) after buying my RSX, it idles rough between 700 - 1200 rpm and almost stalls out on neutral. Any ideas where to start. I already did a search but most people had high RPM idle issues. Thanks fellow CRSXers.
  16. Problems & Solutions RSX
    UPDATED JUNE 14, 2011 Okay so I took some time last night to figure out the problem again. Turns out the IAC valve was still messed. I discovered this by covering the small hole inside the TB. As soon as I did this, the idle went down and stabalized. I took the TB, IAC valve and IAC sensor...
  17. Problems & Solutions RSX
    So I just got my turbo installed last night.. Love it! Car is driving great. However, after work today my DVD player stopped working, the dome light and power locks wouldn't work. I found the culprit was the backup fuse.. I replaced that and now my DVD player is working and all other major...
  18. Problems & Solutions RSX
    Ok so i installed my clutch roughly 1500 miles ago, it was broken in properly and everything. About 900 miles into it, when it was already broken in, i started using it more aggresively and one day it started feeling notchy when going into gear and the clutch wasnt disengaging all the way, i had...
