I have a 2004 Honda Civic VP. It has an auto transmission. My problem is that when I accelerate or even if I am stopped and just rev the engine a little, there is a strange noise coming from the engine bay. It sounds like aluminum that is whirling around and possibly grinding a little. What could be causing this?

This is possibly a bad idler pulley or a bearing going bad inside your alternator, power steering, a/c compressor or water pump.

You should verify this with a stethoscope.
