car is idolling low.. need some techy help
 

Car: 92 acura integra RS 1.8L

problem: Car idols low around 400-600 RPM's

Attempted fix: changing spark plugs and tighting the screw on the throttle cable.. brought it up to 900-1000RPM's

Current situation: its back down to 400-600RPM's and i dont want to tighten the nut on the cable again because it hasnt really moved. Aside from maybe a leaking head gasket and/or replacing air filter (tho this shouldnt have that big of an effect on idol state) I'm stuck for possible fixes.

Thanks in advance!

how about the idle screw on the throttle body?

try the tech area :)

you should of posted in the performance/suspension section.

And this topic has been covered plent of times. Type in idle in the search function and read

isnt that the normal idle anyway? 600rpm?
also
there is a section for this use that first.

spec is 750 +-50

try adjusting the idle screw on the throttle body like cynikal said.

Checking your timing and reset base idle.

check ur eacv or reacv. is this happened when the engine is hot , normal temp, is it at 1500 rpm when cold. if it is possible u need a new eacv or reacv.


good luck

when u repalce ur eacv or reacv adjust ur cable to where it was and reset ur idle to specs.
