Ok, got me a winter beater. The thing ran fine to my house... kinda. but after some investigation i found that it was very, un-responsive. I got new plugs, wires, lubed everything, change fluids, the whole 9 yards.

So i got the problem down the the electronic choke. If i hold the choke open on the car and rev it, it sounds great, but the choke just stays closed if im trying to drive or do anything. it also makes the car jsut die if i dont have the gas pushed in 1/4 way.


Few things i noticed...

The check engine light wont come on, even when jumped

The Gas gauge doesnt work

And the Thermogauge doesnt work.

I am completly stumped. ive reset the ECU as many ways as i can. checked all my pluges i could find. and rearanged the snake pit Honda calls vacuum lines.

Any suggestions here would be great guys, thanks.

 

Are there any thermovalves i can adjust or clean?

 

rearranged the vacum lines? you just hooked them up anywhere?
the original problem sounds like the choke pull off [on the front upper passenger side of the carb body] is bad.
to test it you can remove the breather, plug the vacum connections on the passenger side of the carb. Engine cold running; Use needle nose pliers and pinch off the 2 vacum lines going to the pull off diaphram, the plate should open.
I strongly suggest that you put all the vacum lines back in their original positions.
FYI; Lx not Ex or LXi if fuel injected
