there could be a slight hole in one of the air intale hoses and can only be heard at idle as drowned out by engine noise , i'd get the OBD codes read this should tell you which , if any , sensor/switch etc could be causing this issue, keep me posted if you wish

look for a vac hoes leak

First thing I'd do is look at the VSS (Vehicle speed sensor). Do a GOOGLE search for 1999 Honda Accord Speed sensor and you'll pull up You Tube videos on how to do this.

With a scanner, you can open and close the IACV. Most times it is just dirty. Remove it from the throttle body. use brake clean and soft brush to clean most of it. The n open it up and use a tooth pick or paperclip to clean the inside.

The EVAP canister temporarily stores fuel vapor from the fuel tank until it can be purged back into the engine and burned.

Fuse block should be located either under the dashboard on the drivers side, or possibly long the side of the dashboard in between the dash and door. But ibeliev the fuse you would be looking for would be in the power distribution box under the hood. You can also locate the shift lock button on or around your shifter, you can use your key to release the shift lock and will be able to getyour vehicle out of park to put it in neutral so you can start it and drive to a repair shop if necessary. Just look around your shifter, you should see something that says "shift lock", remove the little plastic cover tab and push down on the button inside there with your key, hold your foot on the brake pedal and shift into neutral, you can then start the car and shift into any gear you need, just remember once you put it back into park, you will have to repeat this all over again. Hope this helps.

linkage that connects the motor to the arms, stripped or loose.

From Helms manual (factory shop manual) Rod, FI engine: 34 lbs Rod, Carb engine: 23 lbs (I use blue thread locker on rod caps) Crank caps: 51 lbs. (oil threads and under bolt head)

Most fuses are in the engine compartment on the drivers side near the firewall. Some are under the dash next to the driver. Hope this helps.

I would NOT recommend using 20w-50 oil in your Accord at all. The manufacturers state a certain multi-viscosity oil to use in all their vehicles and you should stay with that. Many cars use a 5w-30,5w-20 oil and some should use a 0w-20 oil. Modern engines have tighter tolerances on the internal moving parts of the engine than engines from the 1970's and 1980's. A 20w-50 oil is way too high a viscosity(thickness) to use in todays engines. The first number, say 5w, is the cold start viscosity of the oil so the engine can start easier and have lubrication in cold(winter) temperatures. The second number, say 30, is the viscosity of the oil when the engine warms up to normal operating temperature. The oils have viscosity modifiers in them so as the engine and oil temperatures change(cold to hot, hot to cold), the engine has the lubrication protection it needs to operate correctly. I recommend using a synthetic blend oil that is found in many of todays engines right from the factory and stay with the viscosity that the manufacturer recommends in the owners manual. If you do not have an owners manual, call the dealer service department and ask them.

20w-50 grade oil will not hurt the engine provided that it is not used in very low ambient temp areas (15 degrees to - degrees) In these cases I would opt for a low viscosity oil like 10w-30 or at the lowest 15w-30 talk with a service centre dealer for recommended oil for cold /freezing condition

If the starter turns the engine over, then it could be not getting fuel or spark plug voltage. If not then it could be the battery or battery connections or a loose ground connection on the engine. It could also be no fuel pressure or the "Main Relay" is bad Hope this helps. .
