ok so i found this crx with a b16 swap, Intake, header, exhaust.... one problem.. on the paper that was on the window it said it idles at 4500 rpm because the cat. When i read that i was like umm wow! thats pretty high. The paper said that it did need valve adj. so i was thinking the timing is WAY off or somthing is messed up with the motor... does anyone know of anything like this??

 

If it is cheap, buy it then bring it here and we'll fix it.

 

haha hes asking 2500 for it, but if there was somthing really wrong with it i probably wont get it... but i might offer him 2000.

 

Test-drive it. If it seems fixable, try it for $2000.

 

Get his story about the car...if he doesn't know what he is talking about...bargain him down...it probably is something you can fix if it is just the idle problem...drive that ish and then you will be able to tell what is going on with it...good luck

 

4500 is way high.if you know anything about cars.tell him to loosen the throttle cable down or actually turn the idle screw down just to see whats up


ps i don't think a cat is gonna do that either

 

theres a good chance he doent know to much about it so you could proabably get it down to 1500. and 4500 is WAY to high for an idle man. Thats kinda sketch. good luck in getting this car, I hope you get a good price

 

thanks for all the help guys. Yea i was thinking about the TB and the throttle cable.. there might be somthing there because 4500 is way too high like you guys said. i might try 1700 cash the way it is.. one of my friends told me it might be a vacume line or somthing. im pretty sure its not the cat, so this guy doesnt know what hes doing, thats why im going to offer 1700

again thanks for all the help guys
