Hello all- New here to the forum.. Just recently purchased a used 2006 accord LX with 35000 miles.

I put aboutu 600 miles on it in the past month, and started noticing that the car idles very rough, never noticed that with oither hondas. I also notice that in the 2000-3000 RPM range the exhaust is VERY loud and the droning gives me a headache..

Are these by chance known issues? Any ideas what could be wrong?

 

Sounds like exhaust leak, or maybe exhaust system is moving & touching the floorpan causing the droning. But it seems like 2006 isn't old enough for that stuff...?

 

thats what i was thinking - an exhaust leak... I also noticed another issue too-- with the A/C If I pout it on the cars idle gets really rough!! i just made an appointment with the dealer i bought it from- good thing for warranties..

 

Turn on the AC, open the hood & look. When the AC clutch engages, watch for the drive belt fluttering, or any pulleys wobbling, or stuff like that.

When you say it idles "rough", what exactly do you mean? Excessive vibration? Surging rpm up & down?

 

it vibrates excessivly. and when the air is on it gets worse, and VERY loud

 

Probably your AC belt needs tightened/replaced

 

just got bacj form the dealer- said it needs new motor mounts..
