I just swaped an H22 in my freinds Accord and Im having isues with the idle. When I first start it runs fine, idles nomal at about 800 RPM. Then it will go below 300rpm and stugle to run then die. I pulled the codes and I only get a 20. Thats electrical load detector??? What is this?? Any sugestions would help out. I need to get the car back ASAP!!!

 

try unpluging the iac or riasing the base idle a bit.was any motor work done before installation? also check your map sensor connection at times people can get the tps and map sensor wires backwards

 

Thanks! I was checking some other posts and another suggested the IAC vavle. I will tweak with it today and see what I can get. Wont it flash a code if I had the plugs mixed up??

Also just to let you all know. I onlyhad to lenghen 1 wire on this H22 conversion in this Accord. It was an EX so it allready has Vtec. The only wire that needed to be lengthend was the oil pressure sendding unit on the back of the block. The rest of the wires can be taken out of the factory loom and have enough length. In some cases it may be a little different but this has got to be the easyest swap I have done. There can be alot of bad info on some of the wrightups out there so beware.

 

sometimes it will throw a code sometimes it won't. let us know if you found anything

 

I took off the IAC valve and cleaned it but didnt help at all. It will idle fine for a minute but if you give it a bit of gas it will go down to 200rpm and strugle to run. Also will do it out of knowhere.

The thing kind of sounds like its running on 3 cylinders. I know all of them are firing. Cam timing is good, same with ignition. Im not sure what else to do.

 

Check fast idle valve as well. Mounted to bottom of throttle body.

 

Already checked it, works good. It will idle high like normal when its cold. Im leaning toward a faulty IAC valve. I dont want to go spending money untill im sure tho.

 

im gonna venture out and say it almost sounds like a map sensor issue

I did get a MAP sensor code. Replaced it and it went away.

 

did you try swpping the map and tps sensor wires?

 

indeed I did! It ran even worse. Will not having the AIB solonoid hooked up cause any problems?? Im told it wont.

 

One thing I sould have noted is Im pulling a code 20, ELD. What does this do? Think it could be the source of my problems? It Electrical Load Detector has somthing to do with the charging system right?

 

Have you checked your batt voltage? ELD monitors the voltage so it could be your alternator.

 

ELD IS WHAT TELLS THE ALTERNATOR TO RUN IN LOW OOUTPUT MODE OR HIGH OUTPUT MODE.

 

hmmm... Well I will tweak on it some more and figure out whats messed up. Thanks for all the input!!!

 

try unpluging the egr plug i had the same proble with my friends h22 i put into and accord it would run fine then when it warmed up in would idle real low and almost shut off

 

Thanks! I just did that. I idles like normal now.
