Hi guys, Mark here, just bought a 1999 Accord LX V6 loaded up. Leather, roof, pwr seat, CD....very clean car for my daughter's first car. I have had the car for 1 month ow and think it was a great choice. I do have one small issue that I did "Search" for and failed.......Battery drainage??? something is running on the car every 5-6min and sounds like a fuel pump/small compressor???? Any ideas/clues...... here is a couple pics........

You should try to locate the noise. Listen under the car around the rear driver's side tire.

It is probably one of the components for the EVAP allowing fuel vapor to be trapped in the charcoal canister.

Search for something like EVAP noise and you should see some other post about it.

Thanks for the heads up on the EVAP system PAHonda, I have searched and read all the threads that include "evap" and have found mixed ideas concerning the system....some say it needs no power yet my car will make this buzzing/humming sound in the same location with the car in the off position key out till it drains the battery and then the sound goes away....LOL I'm guessing it does need power to produce this noise and must be relaced or repaired.
