    My 93 accord sounds.. different?

    93 Automatic Honda Accord

    When I accelerate, it's a much deeper bass like sound then before. I personally like it .. But it's probably a sign of my motor about to explode.. idk. This was the first time I noticed it for about a 5 minute drive, when I was coming home, my car would NOT role on idle at red lights.. It was like.. the brake was stuck or something.. I pressed the brake, and it felt much firmer, with it barley being pressed. It did stop the car.. My car wouldn't change gears to get up this huge hill, it just.. bogged up it.. Anyways, I noticed more than usual smoke coming out of the exhaust, (It's always smoked on start up..) .. but this is smoke when pressing the pedal down...

    What could the problem be? I might have left some things out, but I'm hear to answer any extra details you need.

    (I'm uploading a video now..)

    EDIT:

    .. And be sure to watch until the end and notice the struggle to start back up?.. It never does that..

      Kind of hard to tell but to give you a couple ideas to think about, when you first said brakes felt harder, I though leaking brake booster. A bad leak will cause the power assist to quit working making it much harder to brake and the engine to lose power (the booster gets vacuum from the intake manifold). To check this, inspect the big vacuum hose for cracks or tears (goes from the back of the manifold, runs near the cowl, and back down near the brake master cylinder). If you don't see any, remove the booster end of the hose from the booster, stick a big bolt or spark plug or something to block it. Then start up the car and see if the car idles better. Don't drive it like this as you will have a very hard time braking.

      The other thing is you may have a bad motor. I can't tell if the smoke coming out the exhaust is white or blue but I'd lean towards white which would suggest a blown headgasket. The motor running crappy/low idle speed may cause the brakes to feel firm because it's not getting enough vacuum from the bogging motor. But it should feel fine if the car is driving around at 3000rpms or whatever....which is why I would check the booster first.

        The deeper sound is probably just an exhaust leak. That was the case with my previous accord. However the smoke and stiffness of your gears might be something really serious shop time??/ swap time?

          This car is currently just my extra vehicle for fun. I don't push it to it's limits or anything.. But I still use it.

          The smoke smells like something that's burnt, not sweet. It's white from what I can see.

          My transmission has always been awful, the hardest shifts EVER. (Knocks my radio out of it's racks/cd skips).. Feels like I crashed almost when it shifts xD.. (Scares the living SH-T out of people who have never rode with me before..).. It also slips going up hills or on hard accelerations. (Passing people is impossible.)

          But I just did some little troubleshooting things, and my battery is way low.. down in the 5% range. Also, I checked my oil, ... completely empty. I just put some in a month or so ago.. maybe put 100 miles on it sense.

            Hmm.. your motor might be toast then. It's maybe to the point that the rings are so bad that you're burning a lot of oil and have very low compression and doesn't run very smoothly anymore.

              Looks to me like the timing may have slipped. Check it.
