'86 Prelude revs climb when releasing gas...
I have an '86 Prelude with the 11.8 dual carb engine. When I release the gas
pedal to shift the RPMs will usually rise a bit and then slowly come down, sometimes the RPM just stays where it is for a second then drops. Why might this be happening and what can I do to fix it? I would rather not be putting that extra wear on the clutch and synchros, but waiting for the RPM to drop to about where it would be in the next gear gets old real fast. Any ideas? Cory |

Why might this be happening Vacuum-operated emission control dashpot that holds the throttle open briefly when you let up off the gas to shift. Common with carbs after about 1973. > and what can I do to > fix it? Disconnect the damn thing. A real PITA they are. Look for a round, diaphragm-looking thing with a vacuuum hose going to it and with a bracket and screw impinging upon the throttle linkage. Be aware that if you have to go for emissions tests once in a while, you'll need to reconnect it before being tested. Also understand that if you have state enviro-Nazis patrolling your roads, they take a very dim view of disconnected smog . You can also just back off the adjusting screw until it does not touch the bracket and thus does not hold the throttle open. This method is not obvious to the eye and will be easier to get away with. -- TeGGeR® |

I'm used to my '60s Fords which pretty much everything is manual or a very straightforward linkage/design/adjustment.

I would much prefer the car to behave like a normal engine. If I wanted the RPM to stay up after I let off the gas I wouldn't have let off the gas, now would I? Well hopefully I can fix that. |
