abs?...I believe it's suppose to self adjust upon starting the car, then the abs light goes off. Mine does it too only when I start the car. I hope this is normal if not then I might be fucked as well.

most likely you're hearing the radiator fans and the a/c fans starting

Sounds like the ABS to me. I've never had a car before with ABS, and I drove a very similar Accord for two years previous (ABS is the only real difference, mechanically).

ABS pump and fuel system... Also, depending on your environmental setting, your climate control servos could be moving to close the vent dampers and the fans could be on as well. If there are not CEL or ABS indicators, you are ok.
