Engine Performance problem
2001 Honda Accord 6 cyl Automatic 98000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
At 98000 miles, my Honda has had very little maintenance besides, brakes, oil changes and a new transmission 2 years ago. Do I need to have the transmission serviced? I know I need the timing belt changed. This is recommended at 75000 miles. What else do I need to have checked to improve mileage and performance, like tune up, etc.? It still has pretty good pick up, but not as good as it use to be. Also, I hear some major rattling when I go over rough parts in the road. I can hear this alot when I drive through the neighborhood or slow on a rough road. Sounds like it is right over the left front tire. Do you think it could be the struts? It sounds like something is fixing to fall off.

Timing belt and water pump need to be checked and or replaced
check air filter and gas cap
as for the noise in the front I would have the struts checked and stabilizer links
