Loud Noises

I have a 1992 Honda Accord EX. Its got a 2.2L 4 Cylinder Engine and has about 250K miles. It has been through a flood once but from what I understand all of the main electronics were replaced. When I drive above 40 MPH the car will make a loud noise that sounds like its coming from the front passengers side tire. It only happens when I turn right. I have checked for wear but cannot find anything. Also when it is below around 50 degrees and I start up the car the RPM's tend to jump rapidly from about 1,000 to 1,500. I was told that this could be due to a vaccum leak.

Thanks,
Timothy Lassiter

Check the cv boots on the car for cracks and tears. You might have a cv joint that is bad. Yours in this case could be very bad. Don't ignore it.

Check your engine coolant level and make sure it is full. When the system is warm slowly crack open a bleeder on the cooling system to let out air. Should be located on the top hose from the radiator near the head. Air in a system can cause the surging. Vac leaks can as well but they are usually a constant surge whether car is warm or cold.
