ok. for awhile now i've had low idle problems on some ocassions..(examples...after racing...and a long period of driving.) well...today i checked around my distributor and found oil leaking around that area. could this problem be related to my low idle problems? how dentrimental can this be to my engine? is it time for a new distributor?

id first find the source of the oil leak...maybe just a gasket or seal is all u need

thanks for the reply. i am planning to take it off tomorrow and check it out. but do u think that was causing my low idle problem? i was totally stumped on that.

after hard driving on any car, returning to the idle will actualy dip lower than normal, reason being that ecu is recaliberating the fuel.
When u are on full throttle the ecu will engage the maping to handle the vtec or higher rpms but the sudden return to low rpms will cause the idle to roughen for a brief sec. I hope that is what u are talking about. I also hope i have been of some help.

also, are u runing a chiped ecu, or a vafc ?
vafc will cause ur idle to dip at times.

Might be a dirty iac. Sometime they get clogged with gunk.
