Idle adjuistment....

Woindering how I could adjust my idle. It's been running in the low rpm close to 0. Today it actually dropped to 0 twice and stalled. Usually I idle 500. I would like to bring it up a little.

Is there a screw I turn? Does it involve messing with the throttle cable?

There should be a brass "screw head" that you can turn with a flat head screw driver to adjust your idle.

Very easy.

Just go to the passenger side of the engine bay and look

I wouldn't adjust the idle screw just yet. Reset the ECU first. This will meake it re-learn everything. If that doesn't work then you can try adjusting the idle screw. Just my $0.02

Good idea...maybe I'll try that. But then I'll have to reset my deck...I'll loose all my radio titles and EQ settings...
sigh...

You know you can just pull the ECU fuse instead of disconnecting the battery... you'll reset the ecu without losing radio memory.

If you do adjust your idle, don't just turn that screw on the throttle body. You also have to disconnect the IACV.

Check here for the exact instructions under base idle adjustment http://www.hondaracing.ca/installs/index.htm
