Ok, so I have a 94 ls integra and it idles realy bad. I'm going to clean and check the iacv because I think that's the problem. It also needs a new oil pan gasket and I was wondering if I can just drop the oil pan to replace it. The shop that I go to said that there is a lot more involved. I'm also getting some rattling at low rpm's. And finally I've always leaked water on the passenger side floorboard whenever it rains. I've heard of this problem b4 but I can't find the leak. Nebody have any ideas? Thanx!

 

i replaced my oil pan gasket a few months ago. you have to drop the lower portion of the exhaust manifold, a small cover plate on the trans (4bolts), 2 engine stiffeners (6 bolts) and then the oil pan. it is definitly a few hr job.

 

I know I need to drain the oil but do I need to drain the coolant also?

 

nope. there is no relation with coolant and the oil.
