Idle question
I have a 96 Acura Integra...fresh motor and up until a couple hours ago could not get it to turn on...Now That it does turn on it idles extremely high.
Any ideas on what it could be?

Re: Idle question
I didnt leave the car on long enough to notice CEL...but it wasnt starting due to the ground on the thermostat housing not being tight lol!

Re: Idle question
When the motor was built did you take off the intake? If you did it could be a bad intake gasket. That can cause high idle. Or the idle is just wayy off.

Re: Idle question
i put a brand new head gasket torqued to specs. When i start it..sounds like I stab the gas. Im sure it would idle at redline if i left it on

Re: Idle question
Yeah I took the Intake off my bad...replaced the gasket with a new one. I was thinking that was it because im leaking fluid from the water passage on the intake.
