Pinging/Clunking Front Noise FIX
Well I work at Honda and just went on here to see if anyone got a answer to problem. Got a 01 Cl base with pinging metal noise at low speeds underload. Looked around and nothing. Everyone stated a CV axle, but it's not at turns. Took me a day or so and decided to go on Honda online. Found a bulletion under 03-07 accord which also applies to all other V6 honda's. The intermediate shaft shield problem took off my heatshield and replaced it with new one. Problem fixed tell me if this helps anyone. Below is the actually bulletion. I can't post the honda page with instructions, but it covers the intermediate shaft.
Pinging or Buzzing Between
1,500 and 2,500 RPM
Got a ’03–04 Accord V6 in your shop that pings,
buzzes, or whistles under load with the engine
running at 1,500 to 2,500 rpm? The culprit could
be the intermediate shaft bearing heat shield. This
noise can change with engine temperature and
may be intermittent. Sometimes, you can hear this
noise only when the engine is cold.
If you suspect the intermediate shaft heat shield is
making all the racket, remove it, and test-drive the
vehicle. If the noise goes away, then replace the
heat shield. If you hear the noise even without the
heat shield, then hook up a STEELMAN®
ChassisEAR™ diagnostic tool (T/N JSP-SM06600)
to pinpoint the source. To keep from damaging
the intermediate shaft bearing, don’t drive the
vehicle without the heat shield for more than a
few minutes.
