  1. Problems & Solutions RSX
    I've searched a lot on this all over the net, but there doesn't seem to be any solid solution. At just about 5000 RPM and above, at WOT, I hear this high pitch whine or whistle. Sounds like some sort of exhaust or intake leak. Any ideas? It seems to be a common issue with the RSX. I bought the...
  2. Problems & Solutions RSX
    My car has been making this noise since I bought the car last spring. The pinging doesn't start until I hit between 2800-3500 rpm. Going past 3500, the noise goes away. I showed my mechanic the noise and he told me it was either the pulleys or the serpentine belt or both and will need to be...
  3. Problems & Solutions RSX
    Hey guys, As some of you may know, I just picked up my first RSX a little over a week ago. Since then I have been performing a lot of maintenance including spark plugs, VC gasket, intake filter, oils and fluids, etc. Yesterday I decided to clean the throttle body and IACV with CRC cleaner so...

  5. Problems & Solutions RSX
    Okay, I have an auto RSX and the problem started a few months back. I cannot think of a reason that caused this to happen. When I accelerate with a heavy load in the car, I can feel a hard vibration. It is a low pitched vibration and seems to be coming from the driver side. I can feel the...
  6. Problems & Solutions RSX
    i start it up, and it revs at the normal rpm, with nothing weird, then after maybe 30 seconds its reving from 1k- 2k rpms constantly and doesnt stop. now it just started making a wierd whistle noise when it was "letting off the throttle", which currently turned into a constant high pitched...
  7. Suspension, Chassis & Brakes
    First of all I don't know if I am posting in the right section as I honestly don't know where the squeal is coming from. A buddy told me it MAY be my rotors so I figured this would be a good place to start. Basically I have noticed in the past week that when I'm in lower gears [2nd/3rd] and...
  8. Problems & Solutions RSX
    As the title states my car makes a high pitched squeel/whine when it is above 6000RPM. It does this in every gear (at least the first 3) which leads me to think that it might be something other than the belt. Thanks for any help guys
  9. Problems & Solutions RSX
    Has anybody had experience with a weird high pitched noise coming from the front of the car? It usually happens when I am cruising at highway speeds (>50mph). It only happens randomly though. Sometimes I think that it sounds like a high pitched whistle, but at other times it seems like sort...
  10. Supercharging RSX
    Comptech High pitched whining problem Okay so last night I was driving hard, shifted into second quick and heard something bang around in the engine. When I go park there is a very high pitched whining. The car runs fine, still boosts and the whining goes away if I cloes the bypass valve or if...

I do have 1 slight problem..... after i drive the car for about 30 minutes straight and i put my car in neutral while not moving i hear a high pitched squeal. I get out of the car and...
  12. Problems & Solutions RSX
    I just got my RSX 2 weekends ago, and I recently noticed a high pitched noise in my car when I go over 120km/h. At first i thought it's the radio buzzing, but after a while, I realized the sound is coming from underneath the hood since it sounds a lot louder when I put my head near the air...
  13. All Motor RSX
    Ok, I know this isn't normal so I figured I should ask! Over the past 2 days, my car has somehow accquired this loud high pitched whine when I'm in VTEC and at WOT. I've tried it not at WOT and it won't do it. It almost sounds like a turbo spooling up (for those of you who know what it sounds...
