First let me say that my car has issues. Recently the crank sensor broke. I took it to a mechanic. The mechanic felt that the sensor was broken because a couple of gears had worn and caused the pulley to rub up against the sensor. Getting to the point... The timing belt was replaced along with the crankshaft seal, crank sensor a gear, the timing gear and a belt. The car runs OK except as the engine passes 2000 rpm it makes a buzzing sound. If you hold the rpm at 1950 the sound is constant. It is more noticeable as the rpm decreases but it is noticeable in both directions. There also seems to be a vibration that I can feel in the steering wheel when the car is running above 2000 rpm. This vibration was not present before the repair.

Some time back I had the timing belt replaced by another mechanic and as I recall I had a similar problem. After an adjustment the problem was fixed.

Could anyone tell me what kind of adjustment would fix the problem or what might cause the problem.

Thanks so much for the help ... Michael
 
The car is a 1996 Honda Accord 2.2L 4 cylinder.

In which case they all make the buzzing sound.
It's nearer 1800 rpm than 2000 and it's a known
issue on these cars. There was a "buzz kit" available
but it tended to only work for a few months. Honda
maintained that the buzz was not causing any
mechanical problems so wouldn't fix it free.

Do a google groups search on "buzz kit" for more
info.

HTH,

I was thinking that it had something to do with the installation of the timing belt. Is it possible that a belt that is to tight could cause such a problem? Is it possible to put the belt on say one tooth off and it still work, but cause this problem? I did not have the problem before the maintenance was done on the car.

Thanks again ... Michael
