Re: 91 Accord: code 15..

Mmm, I have not.
I don't have any tools here to test it.

But as I google more about it, it seems like the problem is the ICM...which is another name for the igniter, right?

Re: 91 Accord problems

Thanks dtapia.

Yeah, the o-rings under the rocker arm.

Something is obviously wrong because the idling problems started right after the valve adjustment.

Maybe the rocker arm or the valves...

Re: 91 Accord problems

That's what I thought.

Not sure if this makes sense but...Is the timing supposed to be reset after the valve adjustment?

Re: 91 Accord problems

He replaced the lower spark plug seals and apparently the valves needed adjustment.
I regret it now.

I replaced the IACV and that didn't fix anything.

Re: 91 Accord: spark plug tube seals

OK, I took my a car to a mechanic. He did the valve adjustment and now the car idles like crap....erratic idle.

What could be causing that?

Re: 91 Accord: spark plug tube seals

Well, I know the cam seal needs to be replaced.

Other than that, the engine runs smoothly.
At least everyone says that.

91 Accord: spark plug tube seals

Just found out there's oil in two of the spark plugs.
I checked the upper seals and they are fine.

I'm pretty sure the lower seals need to be replaced.
How hard is it to take out the rocker arm?...
