Hi,

I have a 91 integra GS

Okay, i've had a previous idle problem. I had the hunting between 1000-2500 rpms problem. Which was fixed by tightening the plastic thing on the FITV. NOW my car idles like a peice of crap while warming up. Winter or Summer it doesnt matter. Worse in the winter tho. My car sputters and almost dies if i dont give it a little bit of gas for atleast 30 seconds while it tries to warm up. It idles up and down between maybe 100 and 500 RPMS. Kinda gay since i have a remote starter and the car will start but will just die. This is what i have replaced on my stupid idle journey.

IACV
FITV
FUEL FILTER
ENGINE TEMPERATURE SENSOR
TCP SENSOR
MAP SENSOR
02 SENSOR
PCV VALVE
DISTRIBUTOR CAP
ROTOR
INGITOR & IGNITION COIL
SPARK PLUG WIRES
SPARK PLUGS

I HAVE NO VACUUM LEAKS
I'VE CLEANED MY IACV NUMEROUS TIMES
I'VE CLEANED MY FUEL INJECTORS AND TRIED PUTTING IN NOTHING BUT THE BEST GASOLINE
I'VE TRIED RAISING MY IDLE

I dont think it can be the EGR since its a manual transmission. My last options i think are my FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR, FUEL PUMP & my CAT. Im gunna change my FITV again and see what happens.

I also have a weird remote starter problem which could be maybe related to this problem maybe. WHEN I REMOTE START THE CAR, IT WONT EVEN START. it will crank for like 20 seconds sounding like it really wants to start but it wont!

I searched on G2IC, but everyone's problems are when the engine is already warmed up.

It took me 6 months to figure out my last idle problem and now another 6 have passed with this stupid problem. Any help would be appreciated?

THANKS

 

i just bought a 90 model Integra and it does the exact same thing, no luck fixing mine either.

 

I almost guarantee is has to do with your remote start my friend had the same problem, He took it out and has worked fine ever since.

 

Funny I am boosted and I have the same exact issue. When you first start your car will it stall back out unless you give it tons of gas for a few seconds? that is what I have to do to mine...

 

same problem here.. also looking for answer.. i replaced everything you did as well but i dont have a remote start alarm

 

I am not really sure though, Are spark plugs fine, too old, too much gap??

 

my 1990 integra GS idles at about 1600rpms and then drops down when the car is on for about three or five mins weird.

:thumbsdown:

 

sorry i didnt see it

 

wow how do we all have the sane problem...lol. i think i have a leak somewhere

 

I myself own a G2 Integra like the rest of yall and I had the exact same problem. I replaced all the common parts as you some did(wires, plugs, map sen.). So one way that I found is the turn the Idle Control Valve on your throttle-body all the way in then start turning it till it acually run decent. Most of the problems seem to me as Air/Fuel problems. Weather it is to much or too little air induced into the motor. Try playing with that for a bit and get back to me on what happend.

 

im going to try and set my idle properly tomm

 

You know.....this all seems too funny!! I have a 91 LS automatic and I am having the same problems. I am gonna try the IACV tomorrow and all that junk...but my prolems didn't start until I did a tune up and oil change. Then all hell broke loose...or just broke, who knows. I know that it is real annoying. I think the most annoying part about it all is that my car sounds super gay when I am slowly accelerating and you can hear it kind of "sputter" like it's missing or something. All the plugs are properly gapped so I know that's not it, but I just recently was told how to deal with the IACV and all that crap so I am gonna try that next.
