Did you do your valve adjustment?

jonny_sin

yeah man i did

i can't figure it out.

jonny_sin

damn no one. or is everyone just acting the fool right now

ejoner

Did you put in new plugs? Try pulling a plug wire at a time to see if its an actual miss fire. Are you throwing any codes?

jonny_sin

ok i got the car to runwith out misfire..now i have another problem.

the car doesn't want to stay at idle.lmao
man this car is beating me..
i can keep it at idle with my foot on the accelerator but once i take my foot off the car dies completly like if i shut it down..hmmmm

any help can be apreciated...i need to have the car to stay running so i can check for codes.

if you bent the valves most likley you dented your valve seats causing incorrect seating/compression leak.....everyone i know that has bent a valve has either bought a new head or if the damage wasnt severe, a machine shop re-shaped/cut the seats......even if it didnt look like they were dented, they most likley were enough for new valves not to seat correctly

jonny_sin

no i replaced the valves and also did a leak test. the alves set right and there was no major damage on the head besides the valves. the compression on it is good .
it is something else

not for nothin but, check your rotor on the dizzy....sometimes the screw will fall out and it'll be off timing.....if thats not it, try your belt timing one more time....make sure that the crank pulley (single mark)is lined up with the mark on the timing cover and make sure the cam gear isnt 180 off....i seen that happen ALOT.....not saying i dont think you dont know what your doing but sometimes even a good mechanic will overlook the smallest thing....you can be one tooth off....or 180.....look carefully

jonny_sin

lol..funny you say that, but i doubted myself when i did the timing and thought it might be that. but no thank god.lol

Big M Built

lol yeh idk mann....if i lived near you we'd figure it out cuz i cant figure it out instantly through the internet.....but try finding someone local to take a look at it...im sure its probably nothin too big....its only a honda!!! but good luck

jonny_sin

hahaha thanks man..but yeah i got a couple of friends swinging by.but since it is the holidays so it's kind of hard...
well im a try something .wich i have been overlooking.but it's my final shot..

i'll let you guys know if it works

jonny_sin

ok i got it to the last thing it might be.
well after holding my foot on the gas pedal for 5 minutes i let goand it stayed idling low at 500 rpm then it jumped up to normal levels..so i checked the motor and noticed the water temp sensor had a clipped wire..and now it stays as long as it doesn't cool down..hmm well im a switch it out and then see what happens
