Help diagnose a strange idle *vid included*
This developed a couple days ago, and seems to be getting worse, but maybe that's just me. anyway, I get a very lumpy idle, that continues through light load, but under full load the car hauls *** like it always used to. It also vibrates more then normal during idle. I'm guessing its either distributor, plugs/wires, or maybe something with internals? If that's the case, then I've lasted 2 yrs and 35k with a boosted stock B16 at 9 psi. w00t
here's the vids.
Startup: you can really hear it stutter during cranking

and out by the exhaust. not as noticeable, but if you listen you can still catch it.

sounds exactly like my prelude when i had bent valves and when my egr stuck open...but you dont have egr..so maybe the valves.

Re: Help diagnose a strange idle *vid included* (LudeSH)
sounds like poo. I would start by replacing the cap, rotor, wires and plugs. if you have some type of fuel/ignition management. make sure the timing is right. if that doesnt fix it. do a compression and a leak down test. if your running a cat...thats the problem ( ist probaly melted) if not check your valve clearence. good luck
