Wow, lager if we still had reputation points I'd throw some you're way for that reply.
Thanks. Like I said before, its probably normal its just my head after not being with the car for a long time. And you're probably right on the service reps...but anyway I've had pretty good experience with them thus far and he seems to know a fair amount of technical knowledge. But I appreciate you're attemp at an educating response and hope that you stick around our fair RSX (now +EP3) forum, continuing to contribute you're great knowledge of Hondas.

Mr Pilot,Thanks for your reply.Im not so sure the noise you are hearing is all in your head.RSX and S2000 engines normally have NO valve train noise and thats usually the cause of all ticking sounds..

I take that distributorless thing back, I'm positive it's the injectors now. I popped my hood and listened to it closer today, and all I hear the noise coming from is the injectors, they tick loud as hell.
- On another note, since we're talking about noises, does your, or anyone else with an RSX, have a little click in their steering wheel? Mine clicks a little when i turn the wheel from left to right. Or how about your Idle, does your idle ever jump up and down in the 500-1000 rpm range? Just wondering

Thanks JDM, I'm not at all familiar with your point on the injectors. The ticking sounds too mechanical in nature for me to have thought of anything other than valvetrain. Thanks for the reply, I'll mention it to the "reps" next time.
As far as your inquiry to sounds in the steering, I have never encountered or noticed for that matter any sort of clicking originating from the steering wheel. My g/f's RSX-S rpm fluctuated slighty in the same range you speak of when it is very cold outside and you initially start the car. Otherwise, turning the steering wheel back and forth while idling will cause your RPM's to fluctuate b/c the power steering is being worked at idle///

You're absoluetly right next, this was a well discussed topic. But our humble RSX forum usually is, civilized. But I guess I'll take some credit for starting the thread :rick::chuckles:
