1998 Honda Civic 4 door Lx Manual (canadian model)
Does anyone have this problem with their Civic, or other vehicle: when my
Civic has been sitting for a while, and I turn it over it revs quite high for a few minutes before settling down, and the problem is more pronounced in the cold weather. I'm no mechanic, but I imagine as this is something to do with the computer, as it doesn't seem to have a fuel delivery problem? Furthermore, despite having put in a new battery with more cranking amps than my original it still takes more turns than normal to get the motor going on a cold morning? If anyone has any opinions on these things please let me know, thanks so much! |

The computer is set to warm up the car by revving the car at an RPM that is significantly higher than that after the car is warmed up and, say, sitting at a stoplight. > for a few minutes before settling down, and the problem is more pronounced > in the cold weather. |

my 98 civic revs at 1400-1600 rpm when cold in winter. it settles down to
650 or so once warmed up Ez wrote: >Does anyone have this problem with their Civic, or other vehicle: when my >Civic has been sitting for a while, and I turn it over it revs quite high >for a few minutes before settling down, and the problem is more pronounced >in the cold weather. >I'm no mechanic, but I imagine as this is something to do with the computer, >as it doesn't seem to have a fuel delivery problem? >Furthermore, despite having put in a new battery with more cranking amps >than my original it still takes more turns than normal to get the motor >going on a cold morning? >If anyone has any opinions on these things please let me know, thanks so >much! -- Message posted via CarKB.com http://www.carkb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx...-cars/200601/1 |

Everything is fine with your car. RPM will be high for first couple of
minuted during warm up and will be longer in winter. Battery with higher amp doesn't reduce cranking time. Invest your time in something else rather worrying about these! |

Take time to adjust the mirror and you're ready to go. You won't notice the high RPM because you'll be half-way to work. If it's really cold, use a block heater or hold the pedal part-way to the floor like the book says. Switch to synthetic oil will make it fire up quicker too. 'Curly' |

Thanks so much for your help everyone. I guess the only condition my car
really has is paranoia!!
