Re: .!? Help ?!. 93 Accord EX Idle Surging After Cleaning????? (tgkaotic)

Any excess air that enters the motor can cause this idle surge. Vacuum leaks, IACV, FITV, EGR not seating when closed, bad PCV, throttle cable too tight, and idle screw out too far can all cause a...

Re: ECU code 41 and 43 (AccordEX1991)

It's predetermined fuel and ignition timing and advance.

There are differences in Intake and exhaust manifolds and overall horsepower in the F22a1, a4, and a6. I have always assumed this was the...

Re: Better throttle response/more power with low fuel in tank = bad fuel pump? (F23Coupe)

The pickup is sitting in the same spot regardless of how full the tank is. Any sediment that is in the tank still sits on the bottom regardless of how full the tank is. You are always drawing fuel...

Re: ECU code 41 and 43 (AccordEX1991)

I'm not gonna say I don't believe it. Which engine do you have? Is it the F22a6?

Re: ECU code 41 and 43 (AccordEX1991)

If your getting 27, I would just leave it alone. You don't have any leaks with that kind of mileage at 300,000. It's WAY too hot to be messing around under the hood.

Re: (JDM_DC4_Fanatic)

The first thing I would suspect is bad cables or grounds. Wire can corrode for several inches into the insulation. It will carry voltage, but only at low current. I would clean and sand all starter...

Re: recharging a/c? (laxman0324)

Check first to see if your temp knob is actually actuating the blend door. It also actuates the bypass valve on the heater hose under the hood. It's the most common cause of 'compressor runs but ac...

Re: ECU code 41 and 43 (AccordEX1991)

You should see 18-21 in Hg with a pretty steady needle on a healthy motor without leaks. If it's below 17, your sucking air somewhere. Hopefully you have a hand pump/gauge and can see if everything...

Re: ECU code 41 and 43 (AccordEX1991)

12 miles is a short commute. You really should take it on a long 75 mph haul. I have a 92 EX with 256,000 miles. I bought it 7 years ago with 103,000 miles. Back then it got 28 mpg. Now I get about...

Re: ECU code 41 and 43 (AccordEX1991)

You might keep resetting the ECU and see if the engine cleans itself up now that you've cured your misfire. If it doesn't go away, I'd look at replacing that Bosch O2 with a Denso or NTK....

Re: If not the Main Relay, then what? (Huckleberry)

Let me clarify a little more on the ECT. Many failures will not set a code. The resistance value of the sensor can move out of range, and the ECU will simply think the engine is still cold and the...

Re: (my93accord)

Tires can be out of round or have belts separated and balancing will have no effect on them because the tire balancer can't reproduce the force and load under use. Move your fronts tires to the rear...

when you say it surges, do you mean that it stumbles and catches itself repeatedly?

Re: rough idling (blackmfoggie)

Glad you got it fixed. If you have a vacuum gauge that you can connect to the intake and you don't have any valve or ring issues, a healthy vacuum should be between 19 and 21 in Hg. If it is below...

Re: ECU code 41 and 43 (AccordEX1991)

What brand of O2 sensor did you use? I tried a Bosch once only to have to replace it with a Denso to clear my 43.
As a side note, 2500 RPM is the point at which the EGR is enabled.

Re: Idle Jumping... Getting WORSE! (MCHAccordLX)

An improperly bled coolant system can also cause this, by the way. The small bypass lines that feed the IACV and FITV get airlocked.
