I have a 00' Accord i4 ULEV, with 177,000+ miles on it.
One day i was getting out of work and my car starts whining real loud out of nowhere, so im like ok maybe cause its cold.
than the next day it keeps doing it so i thought there was air in my system for the power steering. so i take the cap off the reserviour and move the steering wheel back and forth. and it was still whining, so than im driving to the movies with my girl and i turn on the A/C than all of a suddden the car almost shuts off and the CEL comes on. and each time i floor the gas the car stutters.

Is the P/S pump locking up?
A/C still puts out COLD air so could it be it?
Whining noise only under 1k RPM, above that really makes no noise
when parked i turn the wheel left and right really not a BIG change in sound but u can hear it its louder when its idling?

is there any DIY for removing the belts for the A/C comp n ps pump???? thanks i REALLLY need to fix this for work i just got full time so i cant mess this up thanks
