    96' Accord LX 160,000. When my car is decelerating between 57-53 mph
    I get a hum under the engine and a slight vibration in the gas pedal.
    One guy said it could be the timing belt, but that was replaced 3
    months ago. He then said it could be the bearings in timing belt? I
    checked the parts list on my receipt and all it listed was a timing
    belt, balancer belt, water pump, and 3 engine seals. Any thoughts?

    When idling, I get a higher pitched sound in the timing belt area when
    I hit the gas. Same guy said that could be the bearings too. What
    bearings is he talking about. He said bearings should be changed when
    a timing belt is changed. I called Honda and they never heard of
    changing bearings with a timing belt.

    the timing and or balancer shaft belts are set too tight. very
    common with shops other than a dealer.
