Re: Can you identify this belt? (96 Honda Accord)
 

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
