87 accord won’t idle after fuel pump replacement
1987 Honda Accord 2.0 carb, bought for my daughter, in an attempt to
fix a rough running engine after 10 to 15 minutes of driving, both fuel filters were replaced, the plugs were replaced, the wires were replaced, the distributor cap and rotor were replaced, the coil was replaced, next, I attempted to replace the fuel pump sock, but had to replace the fuel pump and sock, in an error on my part, I dropped the tank to replace it. Once back together, the engine will start, run on high idle, then when it is to return to normal idle, the engine dies, you can keep it running by keeping the accelerator depressed, but, once you let it return to normal, the engine dies, you can restart the engine, but, once again it dies. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. -- Posted using the http://www.autoforumz.com interface, at author's request Articles individually checked for conformance to usenet standards Topic URL: http://www.autoforumz.com/Honda-87-a...ict120478.html Visit Topic URL to contact author (reg. req'd).

Any help would be appreciated. > Thanks. Dirty idle jet would be my first guess. Fixing that requires opening up the carb. Basic carb cleaning on that car isn't too bad though: remove the air breather, and you'll see (if memory serves) five or six Philips-head bolts. Pull them out, and take loose the arms the push the choke and acceleration pump, and just lift the top of carb off. From there you can blow out the various jets and passageways, and make sure the float bowl is clean while you're in there. Be careful blasting air through though, one of the tubes toward the back of the carb body has a bead valve that'll go flying if you don't cover it up first. --- avast!

I have not replaced the O2 sensor, but I did rebuild the carburetor. the car runs great but will not idle unless I set the idle speed way up.
