Ok,on my 94 Del Sol DOHC v-tech

I've been having an erratic jumpy Idle as of late......bouncy between 800-1400 rpms when engine is warm.

So I try this CEL check thing right...... well my check engine light doesn't flash....but my SRS light does constantly! It has just continunous quick flashes.....never stops.

So, I unplug, and unplug the battery for 10 min........then hookup again and do CEL check again...... SAME DEAL....

anyone know what continunous SRS flashes mean ?

JDMlyfestyle

means that theres a error in the SRS system. maybe one of the sensors is tripped.

ApolloSpeed

really.....i know nothing about the SRS system

supplemental restraint system...english=airbags
theres so many threads on this, somebody knows what it is cause i forgot. it's probably your vavle under the throttle body. i don't know what it's called. somebody say it

it's the same thing as an iac valve, but honda calls it a diff.

dpetro1

i believe there is both an iac valve and a fitv (fast idle thermo valve) on the b16a3. that happened to my gsr swap once. that might explain the idle surge but i dunno bout the srs. do you have any CEL's? does the srs light flash all the time or just when you tried to jump the connector?

EDIT: i hate to do this but before you get flamed, its VTEC not v-tech

ApolloSpeed

no Cel codes.....only SRS.....and thats only when I jump connector.....


sorry....v-tec

and do I have to replace this IAC or fast Idle thing ?

I hope it is not alot of money

dpetro1

hmm well i would say if you arent throwing any codes then dont jump the connector because it wont tell you anything. also you may have been jumping the wrong connector causing the srs problem.

here is a link to fixing the fitv https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=699787

but first test and make sure its the fitv by removing the intake. there sure be 2 holes in the tb. plug the bottom one and see if idle returns to normal. if so its the fitv. if not it might be the iacv.

ApolloSpeed

so you think the fitv is the problem huh/// i'll have to check that out.

ApolloSpeed

So whats the story on SRS blinking guys ?

What am I checking for ?

dpetro1

i wouldnt worry about the srs if it isnt blinking when driving. like i said the blinking may have came from you trying to jump the worng connector. if the srs light comes on when you start the car and then disappears then everything should be in good working order. if its blinking all the time then maybe you have a problem

ApolloSpeed

no.....it only blinks when I jump the connector....and only then..... and I can't have the wrong connector.. it's the only one with 2 connections in it./

dpetro1

well like i said i dont think you have a problem with the srs.

ApolloSpeed

so, when I jump the connector....and only the SRS blinks.....but no Engine light blink at all......then everything should be ok?

Except for the fact I have a bouncy idle

hmm... i dont know if i had the same problem as you do but on my 96 accord my srs light would suddenly turn on while i was driving. it would also blink when i jumped the connector. took it down to the dealer had them check it out and im sorry i dont really remember what the problem was but they said it wouldnt effect my car in any way. so i left it at that and kept driving my accord and i never got any trouble with it. but as i said it might not be the same issue so have it checked out

cdizzle

yes u dont jump the service connector ( the one with the 2 pins) when your CEL light isnt even coming on? the whole point of the connector is to check the memory AFTER your CEL has come on.

amckee

Open up your fast idle valve and see if the little valve with a slot has vibrated out. If it has screw it back down.
