Default New to this stuff. Just a few questions? =]

Hi, My name is Chris. I'm new to this site and Honda cars in general.

I recently bought a 92 Civic VX Hatch and I have a few questions.

1. The car seems to idle really low and the idle speeds up When I turn the headlights on... Why would this happen? Is there a way I can adjust the idle speed to my liking? Also, the car has a carbon fiber cold air intake... If that has anything to do with it... Like I said, I'm a noob =]


2. The owner gave me a JDM clock for the car as well, How would I install this? I know where is goes, but there is a piece of plastic covering the hole. I tried to pry it open with a small flat head screwdriver, but I stopped in fear of messing up my dash.

Any tips or advice would greatly be be appreciated!

Thanks guys!

1. How low?

Also, every hondas' idle goes up and down when more electrical components are turned on, don't worry, it's normal.

2. There are 2 screws right above your gauge cluster, unscrew those, then pop out your hazard switch with a flat head and there will be another screw below that, unscrew it also.

Pop the bezel out, it may feel like it is going to break but just be careful and you can get it out. I'm not sure if the piece just pops out or if it has 3 screws like a normal ex clock but you should be able to figure that part out. After that is done, screw in new clock, plug it in to the plug around the area the clock should be, and put everything back together.
