i was told i needed to adjust my idle becaue my car dies when im not stepping on the gas. so my question is how do yo do it? thanks

 

there is a flat head screw on your throttle body just next to the intake pipe. first remove the harness from the iacv (which is located in the front of your intake manifold, it has a gray harness) then with the car on turn that screw until the car idles to the cars spec which i believe is 750 or 800 then plug the iacv back in and idle should be up to normal

 

well i guess it wasnt my idle that was messing up my car, it still dies when im not giving it gas, any ideas?
I my honda

 

check the backup fuse

 

the fuse is fine, still trying to figure this out

 

do you get a Check Engine Light (CEL)??

if so get us the code....if not, pull your IACV off and clean it out good....its the thing mounted to the front of the manifold....

 

no check engine light, i'll try cleaning the IACV

 

and clean out your throttle body well

 

That happened to me when I first got my H22A because it had the wrong ECU. So I went from an Accord SiR P0F to a P13 and it runs perfect. Does it seem your car is running on 3 cylinders? It could be a clogged injector, a bad distributor/cap, then there's the wires and plugs you can check. Keep us udated, I'm curious what's wrong with it.

 

i tried fixing the problem myself but i couldnt so i took it to a shop, the guy told me i had a bad oil leak and there was oil on my timming belt, he also said the timming was off, and that the altenator belt was glazed. the car ran perfect till the timing belt broke, after that the vavles were bent and a few little things finally gave.
