its not the idle thats making that sound, only when im in first gear, or if im cruising and im on the gas very lightly, and i think my second gear is gonna go sometime this yr.........it wont shift until like 3k and when it goes that high and im not flooring it, it'll make that sound

 

Who did it? And how long ago. It really does not sound good. And you really need to not be red lining that engine. One other thing it could be would be the torque converter on automatic, or the preasure plate/carrier bearing assembly on your clutch if the car is a manual. It is kind of hard to tell from your clip, but those are things I would check.

 

the tune up was done about a month ago, but i hardly redline line it, maybe 5 times ever i only did it in the clip to show how ear piercing the sound is at high rpms

 

Now that you mention the shifting issue, your torque converter is the most likely culprit. I bet you are on your way to the 2nd Trnsmission club. Good luck. It is auto yes?

If you have the 5 speed, have your clutch looked at.

 

yeah........if its the transmition, im gonna get a 5speed swap......

 

Good plan.

 

ahh jeez.......i think im gonna get rid of the cl before the transmition goes

 

youre only 17! deal with it. learn more about your car.

 

you got some issues man
you should pray that your bottom end is still intact
that sounds like shit
you really need a mechanic to look at the symptoms before you jump to conclusions but that sound was truly scary

 

ok........i see engine swap coming in the summer instead of buying another car...........hmm K20a turbo.....

 

is the k20 even possible? should i do the 3.2swap instead?

 

I don't see why not, so you better start saving. personally i would just find a H22A4 to drop in.

 

well i have 4k to spend on just the engine and, the labor ill worry about the cash later, i would personally like to drop a k20a2 in, and my second choice would be the cl-s swap, i want either of those if they fit without custom fabrication of parts. yah................6-speed

 

do eeeeeeeettttttttttt

 

well 4g's is a good start but right now the k-series are in now and bet that it will cost more. as for the CL-S engine good luck. Cocoa is having a hard time doing it right now. and i know he spend probably about 3x's as much to do it.

 

ok....looks like the cl-s is out of the question, the k20a2 with tranny isnt going for too much....i've never seen them go over $3500

 

do it meng!

 

the only thing im concerned about is the tranny, motor mounts, and the wiring.......and hoping that everything eles will bolt right in

 

seriously if you want to go that route then go to Honda-Tech and they can help you more than we can

 

..........ok k20 will require too much fabrication than i would like.........looks like h22a it will be

 

ok i think the tranny is shot, i started slippin gears today, and i noticed that my temp gauge will go down under the middle line if its in 1st or 2nd but the instant it hits 3rd it shoot up

 

4gs wont get you close to a k20 or cls
you can try to reach it with a pole

 

and have find just finding a CL-S 6speed engine/tranny

 

i did find one when i made this thread http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Acura...temZ8066065870

 

I wouldn't go to ebay for a motor or a tranny. i would look around at shops, at least some of them will give you a warranty.

 

i would never buy an engine from ebay..unless u go there and check it out yourself

 

 

alright i had a hard time starting the car this morning, than it died when i put it into D, and so i tested it some more and it keep "stalling" it'd turn off, sometimes jerk before it died.
and it over heats in acouple mins now, and i got it to drive a little while ago and it keeps jumping rpms, even at park it jumps rpms at idle.
what rpm should it be idling at when it starts up?

 

you bought a lemon!

 

oh dang bro. Does a lemon law apply to you here? So sorry to hear this bro.

 

i bought it privately

 

id privately punch that foo that sold you the car and take back my money.

 

but i bought it for 3200 after tags and taxes, i knew that it needed a tune-up and a new radiator, but i didnt think it would cost me over 2000 to fix it up

 

never assume my friend! so i assume that you will punch out this guy that you bought it from.

 

it was a chick that i bought it from...........and might i say she wasnt bad looking either

 

Re-bleed all the air from the cooling system.

 

she gave you some of that did she.

 

no............me=minor she was 24......
