idle drops
Hi,
This is probably a common question with Honda's, I'm looking for a common answer :) When I'm at a traffic light and my engine is on but stationary, my idle set at 1000rpm drops to 0rpm and it sounds like the car is going to stall but it doesn't it just hops back up to 1000rpm. This happens randomly usually when I'm stopped at a traffic light. What could the problem be? Thanks. |
Re: idle drops
Well.... it depends on what kind of car you have, but assuming that it is a
90 and later accord, I would say that your base idle speed is set wrong.

Re: idle drops
Also, make sure your air filter is clean.

Re: idle drops
The radiator fan motor or the compressor is turning on/off? Is it an
automatic or standard tran?

Re: idle drops
Hi,
I already took it back to the auto-electrician who fixed my distributor. He tested it and came to the conclusion that it was my water temperature sensor that needs to be reprogrammed. Its not the original computer its a Moetek computer running a B16A VTEC engine. The sensor needs to be reprogrammed to less than 3.5ohms which is what it is at now.
