i have a 1991 da9 integra . it starts and idles fine till it gets warm ... when im driving it and push in the clutch it idles at 3 grand and stays there it does not bounce just stays at 3 grand . i did notice that my ground wire from my head to rad support is not there . i dunno if that could be the problem or not . i just bought the car with a blown tranny i fixed the trannsmission and it started doing this . no idea what happened please give me an answer i never had this problem with any other honda i had .

Check IACV and FITV plenty of write-ups on them.

Check your ground on the tranny i had the same problem.

Although I do not beleave the VC to rad support ground is your problem, you should install one, Honda puts it there fore a reason.

I do agree with 92_DB2 about checking the tranny ground but I would check all 3 main ground points, [batt. post and clamp, batt. to chassis ground and chassis to engine, [tranny] ground, do not just eyeball these ground points, remove/clean/reconnect.

Even if the grounds are not your problem, it can't hurt to redo them and it would eliminate them as the possible problem.

Also as mentioned idle problems almost always are a result of problems with the IACV and/or FITV. 94

Hint, I was born in Helsinki Finland in 1949, so pretty soon I will be able to retire and spend all my time here, grasshopper.

BTW, my first vehicle was a Honda...


a 1963 C100 Super Cub, not this one. 94

I'm a sprout compared to you then; I just hit the big 5-0.


Mine was a 1975 Toyota Corolla, bought when it was just a few years old.

I wanted (what else) more power! I discovered that the only way of doing that was to change the carb, camshaft, distributor curve, and the exhaust. Well, I didn't have the cash or knowledge for any of that, so I did the easiest and showiest thing... I installed a loud muffler, and put stripes down the sides. That was rice, circa 1980!
I could have jacked the rear end, and put a pot-leaf sticker on a chrome diff cover, as was popular at the time, but that would have looked dumb on a Japmobile.

Hey old man river, shut your mouth or I'll break your hip! (big daddy)


Wow dude, 63, and an avid honda enthusiest, that's so boss! Did you work at a dealership for most of your life or something? Your electrical knowledge amazes the hell outta me.

Badass whip btw

I'm 30 and I feel like a cranky old bastard on these forums half the time.

LMAO at this thread lol

No, never at a dealership, have been doing car audio/security for over 30 year, can you say 8track, and only the last 5 years or so doing auto A/C @ http://www.airwolfeautoair.com/ and auto electrical @ Dave Ward auto electrical, [same owner, same building].

The Honda was all I could afford at the time, the next bike was a Triumph then a BSA then another Triumph and a number of cars, mostly GMs, a Harley Davidson SuperGlide, and it was not till end of 93 that I got another Honda, 94 Acura Integra, still have it, no plans on getting rid of it, even have a spare engine, [LS] for it with only 52,000 kilometers on it. 94

DirtyDA9

That's awesome man. So you got that thing brand new off the dealership floor, that's crazy.

Whiterice-gsr

im 31 and feel the same gagnar lol. my first vehicle was an 86 accord still carbureted and i had an 84 civic with manual choke lol. civic got turned into a 4cyl ministock car and the accord engine got pulled out of the rotten accord and dropped into a race car too lol.

TheRealTegger

I bought my '91 brand-new as well. It had all of six miles on the odometer. Over 379,000 now.

Whiterice-gsr
