Ok so last weekend I did the 2nd half of the 90k service (I did water pump, Timing belt, vaulve adjustment, all new belts, tensioner and tensioner spring) and so now I have some problems, When it idles after being at operating temp it has a hard time running, it tries to die sort of but it doesnt idle is at about 650rpms when warmed up, whe I am crusing at 40mph or around if I give it some gas between 2 and 3k RPMs it makes a weird sort of whisteling sound from somwhere near the engine, when the car is stopped or in nutral and you rev it between those RPMs there is no noise. the car seems to have no loss of power and runs fine except for the idle. Does the timing belt just need ot be broken in or somthing?

thanks for your help!

 

i dont think the belt needs to be broken in. ive never heard of it.
Does your motor run really hot, if it does run hotter then it did b4 then your timing is off and needs adjusting

 

No I dont notice a difference not with the gauge.... hmmm any other way to tell, we made sure that is was timed righet, or pretty sure... coudl it be anyhting else, what could the noise be?

 

Could it be your intake? Well i just put new timing belt on my car and sometimes it makes this weird whining noise, and my friend told my that the timing belt is TOO tight, we'll loosed it soon and ill tell u... just don't make it too loose

 

I had my timing belt changed by a shop and I don't think they used an actual Acura OE belt. The new belt whines, like a supercharger belt. Should have paid the extra $$ at the dealer.

Did you use a timing gun to verify the timing is correct?

 

NO I have not tried using a timing gun yet, I don;t think it is the timing tho, it could be, but wouldnt there be a loss of power if it was?

 

Not if you were off a little. You need to verify your timing with a timing gun when doing a timing belt. You must have all accessories off and the car at operating temp to get a correct reading.

 

hmmm ok well I will try that tomarrow, Its weird tho beacuse the noise is only when it is in drive and detween 2 and 3k RPMs its like a rubbing/whistel type noise....

 

A timing light won't help you with cam timing.

Sounds to me like you don't have the cams lined up correctly with top dead center.
