Honda Pilot Issues 2004/140,000 miles
Two issues.
1) There is a static type noise coming from the engine sporadically. It almost sounds like a gust of wind hitting a metal can. It started months ago, only happening once every couple days. Now it does it quite often. It’s always when accelerating and stops when letting off the gas. Sometimes it’ll make the noise while at a steady speed but for the most part, only when accelerating. It causes the RPMs to flutter a tad, no more than a 300-500 increase.
2) Car shudders occasionally while driving, usually between 30-50mph. There aren’t any lights on other than the VTM-4 that occasionally comes on (but won’t go off until shutting the car off).
I had the timing chain tensioner replaced back in June/July and am wondering if the timing might be off? If so, would it cause either of these things to happen??
I realize this isn’t too informative but, I’m at a loss because I’ve had a diagnostic test ran on it and no codes came up. Anyone have any guesses??
