dude try taking ur distribotor cap off and make sure all ur contacts are good...dat wat happ to mine and it fixed the prob...it would not hurt to use electric grease too

 

The fitv(fast idle thermo valve) Take that off and take it apart. Sometimes the screw holding the wax element comes loose inside of it letting too much air in when warm. I Know the gsr's have it and im sure yours does too. Its underneath the throttle body and has coolant lines going to it.

 

tahnks ima go check it today..

 

ed7.. you were right.. and my map sensor failed again.. but its all fix now.. and now i got another problem.. my car keeps on sayin its over heatin.. but i really dont think so.. does integras when they overheat they suppose to make thiws beepin noise r something.. well if it does mine dont.. and for some reason when my car over heatsand when i turn my heater on full blast it cools my car down.. until my blower heater fan stop workin.. now it just stay hot.. thants all i can think of right now.... please help...

 

I feel for you

 

AFAIK, it doesn't make any beeping sound......

 

No beeping sound is right. Check the basics like....proper level of coolant, making sure no air is in the sytem and that the fans are turning on. Also make sure the lower radiator hose is hot because if its still cool then your thermostat is probably stuck closed and you will need a new one.

 

i check all that and my lower radiator hose is hot too.. do you still think **** the thermostat.. cause my car today on my way to work it over heat and i think i blew my head gasket cause after ridin my car for a while wwhile its over heatin white smoke starts comin out my exhaust.. i dont know.. ima check it out today.. and atleast change my stat.. and ima let yah know what happens...

 

Sounds like HG. IMO, for the 15min it takes to remove the thermostat, you should have done that and at least known if it was the problem. You can drive without a thermostat installed. If it overheated because of that, now it's gonna take I would say at least 4 hours to replace that head gasket if you have proper tools and know-how. crap..I've replaced them several times and still don't think I can do it that fast.

Take out your themostat and see what happens.

 

According to Chiltons Repair manuel for the teg's. They are supposed to idle at 750 rpms + or - 50 rpms.

 

thank yall.. its fix now.. yea it was the thermostat.. but when i run the thing hard it over heats like right on the red line but when i turn the heater on it cools down.. fast.. but im not worried about that now.. i checked and bleed my coolin system no air on the system change my oil to0 with mobile 1 full synthetic 10 30.. and that it..and now it idles good it warms up right only over heats when i run the car hard.. and cool down when i turn the heater on full.. reground the thermostat... and that it so far...

 

yea thats about right my teg is idlelin like around 800.. 750 when i turn my stereo half way tru and start shakin my window...
