99 Honda accord - changed the timing belt and now it is idling at 3000rpm

SOURCE: 2000 Honda Accord's Timing Belt and Water Pump

sounds like your timing belt is a little to tight and the vibration from the belt is the humming you here
loosen the belt but you may want to call the dealer for the spics on tightness of the belt . thx

well is the idle air control bad? do you have enough coolant? as this vehicle idle is coolant based as well as throttle body positioning sensor.but you may have a nice vacuum leak too when you replaced you head you may have left some gasket material in between the intake manifold or air plenum causing an incorrect sealing/ leak, and also valve timing needs to be checked may need to relap/regap the best bet is to follow your repair manuals troubleshooting section and the process of elimination good luck!

It depends, 4cyl. is a chain, the 6cyl. is a belt and it is an interference engine. I have not done this one yet, but Hondas are never that easy.

you know what happens if you don't.  Inspect the old one for hairline cracks and stretch and you decide.  I would also replace the drive belts and the water pump when I was in there?

Static won't come from an antenna. It normally comes from your connections. If you've been changing the head, check the contacts where it goes together. The only noise your antenna will pick up, is noise from your ignition. If what you hear is more of a buzzing or clicking that changes as you accelerate, then you should get your ignition checked.
