Are you talking revving about above the stock limiter or what?

 

did you rev really high recently? that can bend valves which makes the car run poorly thereafter. try a quick compression check.

 

I ASK BECAUSE THIS PROBLEM ALL STARTED WHEN I WENT FROM 3RD TO SECOND INSTEAD OF 4TH,THE CAR PROBABLY REVVED WAY HIGHER THAN IT SHOULD BECAUSE I BENT VALVES AND SPUN BEARINGS BUT I GOT THAT ALL FIXED.THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE ELECTRICAL BECAUSE IT IS SPORADIC.SOMETIMES IT RUNS GOOD OTHER TIMES THE IDLE FLUCTIATES TO ALMOST STALLING THEN PICKS BACKUP AND REPEATS.ANYONE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THERE ECU.

And after reading that I would say take it back to the place that worked on the car and tell them it isn't fixed still.

 

ok. if you think it's ecu why dont you get a new one?

 

I may be wrong, but I would think the ECU either works or it doesnt.
If you think thats the problem though, maybe try resetting it.

 

I AM A DO-IT-YOURSELFER THATS PROBABLY THE PROBLEM.HOW LIKELY DO YOU THINK AN ACURA DEALERSHIP WILL BE ABLE TO DIAGNOSIS MY PROBLEM.AT THIS POINT THIS MAYBE MY ONLY RESORT!!!

i could do that ,but if that aint it then il end up spending more money.its not really too bad of a problem but i would like to get it fixed

 

ur problem is a simple one. it's either a vacuum leak or a clogged/misfunctioning IACV.

 

whats the accurate way to check for vacuum leaks

 

Vacuum leak? Highly unlikely. Check the:
coil
distributor and dissy internals

possibly replace the main relay that is located by the fuse box in the cabin.

Since these are all cheap items, test and or replace those first then if that doesn't solve it, take it back to the mechanic.

Ignition coils and ignitors arent really cheap.

The helms has diagnostic procedure for all of those items - get out your voltmeter and start tracking it down

 

i have this same problem with my 99jdm itr

sometimes idle will drop down and bog after i hit the clutch in after driving, sometimes idle will randomly get iractic or really low then spice up

it dosnt happen every day, typically it seems to happen more after running the car for a while or in the heat

 

sounds like the same problem.i thought maybe it could be dizzy.does any one know about distributor king on ebay. you can get a brand new distributor for like 160-180

 

Distributor King is

 

lol

 

could the dizzy go out sporadically like that?i wish i could get it to quit if thats what it is ,so i would know for sure!!!!
