That belt drives the Air Con pump, there is another belt just below it that
drives the alternator, it could be the lower belt that is making the noise.
I have the Haynes manual for the 1990-1993 and your picture of the engine
looks very similar to the picture in my book. I no longer have my Accord and
I bought this book shortly before I sold the car ( I think Haynes have only
recently brought out this book, it is a softback not hardback as is normal,
book No 42012 £17.00 direct from Haynes including P&P ). My Accord was a
automatic and used to tickover at 900 rpm.

Having looked a little closer in my manual it gives tickover speed as 700
+/_ 50.

This is true, the £15.00, that is (£14.99 to be precise) but they add on
£2.00 P&P if you order direct.
If you look on their website (www.haynes.co.uk) they do have Accord 94-97
(42013) and Accord 98-99 (42014) listed as being available. As I said the
book that I have is a softback and I ordered it on the UK website.

Ah, yes - that's the American one. I wasn't sure if
the 94-97 (42013) covered the 2.0 engine, since at
the time in the US the Accords were only selling
2.2 litre and 2.7 litre wagons AFAICR.

I did email someone in Haynes to ask them, but they
didn't answer! If someone has this manual (42013
Honda Accord 94-97) and wouldn't mind checking
whether it covers the 2.0 (non-vtec) engine and or
the wagon body style, I would be very grateful.

Cheers,
Al Reynolds
