Honda Car Forum

Hi! I have a 1994 Honda Passport that I am having trouble with. There is a
steady knocking or ticking noise that does stop when "revving" the engine
up. Lifters and timing belt have been replaced. After replacing timing
belt, when first started the engine it didn't make the noise for about 30
seconds and then it started again. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Anyone?

A little more of the service history is probably needed to help
understand the situation. Never see the term 'lifters replaced' on a
Honda newsgroup. Honda passport is rarely mentioned here... It's the
same as ___________, right?

Are you more concerned about the nocking,, or the ticking? They are very
different.

Maybe a google 'groups' search would get the best source of info.

Hello: I know exactly what you mean by this "ticking" sound. I have a
91 Civic, and I have been living with this ticking/clicking sound for
almost 5 years. But the car runs fine, gives about 40-41 mpg. In fact
if you listen carefully, you can hear it constantly as you cruise down
the highway. It is not the timing belt, nor the lifters. The only time
it went away for me, was after I changed my oxygen sensor....but it
came back to haunt me after about three days. Been with me ever since.
I do not know where the noice comes from, but think it is some
solenoid behind the instrument panel or the fire-wall. I also checked
my fuel injectors, but they were o.k. too. If you peruse old e-mails
in this newsgroup, you will come across occasional postings on this
mystery sound from several others also. If I ever come across the
source for the click/tick I will post it here.
