Re: surging idle issue

No I still haven't resolved my issue. Does the surging stop when you put the car into gear? Mine does. I've decided it's probably a vacuum leak (per Mishako129 posts here, threads #9, #12, and...

Re: dome light

Update: I seem to have discovered the problem after removing and then reinstalling each switch once again. The second to the last door switch has rather worn contact spring doo-hicky inside that...

Re: dome light

I'll go ahead and check but it doesn't seem likely because after I reinstalled each one separately after cleaning them each one was functioning properly, switching the light out when the doors were...

Re: dome light

I tried taking out the driver side door switch and cleaning it up to see what would happen. To my surprise, that fixed the problem (for that door anyway). The dome light came on, and as well the...

dome light

The dome light on my 92 DX doesn't come on when I open any of the four doors when it is in the middle position. If I turn the dome light switch to "ON" it does come on, and if I turn it to "OFF" it...

Re: surging idle issue

Yes I did clean the IACV. It was suggested that because I used some carb cleaner to clean it that perhaps I damaged it. If that is the case (that it's damaged) does that in itself cause a vacuum...

Re: surging idle issue

Also, just to throw this out there too, isn't it the case that a malfunctioning IACV can somehow mimic an apparent vacuum leak?

Re: surging idle issue

How about the way mine acts, which is it happens only after the engine car has been significantly warmed up and driven around a while. Seems after a good long time driving around it'll happen. Then...

Re: surging idle issue

In response to your asking, no my engine is not the F22A6 but happens to be the F22A1. Thanks for the advice to check for vacuum leaks and I'll definitely go ahead and check that out as you...

Re: surging idle issue

Thanks Lost Again. But a few questions about the procedure as you described:
1. Do I have the car running or turned off before starting? I'm assuming off.
2. The step of turning the blower off...

Re: surging idle issue

I'd like to try that. I have a multimeter with which I could check ohms across the pins, but am uncertain about how to hook up to see if it will click. Just run a lead from one of the IACV...

Re: surging idle issue

TexasCheddar,
Thanks for the description your symptoms and how you were able to fix it but I really think the fault/fix for mine would not be anything to do with the VSS. Mine symptoms are as I...

I've got a surging idle problem with my 92 Accord, where the idle will rev up and back down rythmically as though a ghost is pressing down in letting up over and over again when the transmission is...

Re: which is PS return hose?

Thanks MuffinMan for the link to that thread which should definitely be helpful for me I think.

Okay here's a picture of my reservoir. Bottom hose goes to pump. Upper hose in foreground goes to...

Re: which is PS return hose?

OK if that's the case, the bottom one would be the return line (neither of the upper ones) because the bottom one goes directly to the pump.

Re: which is PS return hose?

On mine all three hoses are about the same as far as my ability to squeeze them, all seem fairly sturdy. The one on the bottom goes to the pump, and one of the top two hoses goes down toward the...

Re: cv axle in all the way?

In my initial post here I said "I think I kind of felt it click in there when I pushed it in but not really certain." Probably the same as far as whether I heard a click.

Re: cv axle in all the way?

I still have the front end of the car on jackstands, so it was quick and easy to do the check as you described (quoted above). Didn't come out, so I'm good to go. Thanks

Re: cv axle in all the way?

Ok good. Thanks for the reply Mishako129. I'm reassured that it'll be fine then, and will just keep an eye out for any leaking as suggested.
