hey guys ive been having a wierd problem lately ... everytime i apply the barkes my idle will drop .. same with when i turn on the lights.

i have a 94' Dx stock .

i just replaced the distributor and the timing has been set .

i was thinking it might be the alternator not charging properly ....

some help would be appreciated

ooo and does ABS come standard with a 94 dx ?

 

bump !

 

the IACV/EACV on the back of the intake manifold controls the idle from every aspect.

When the car has an extra load put on it (headlights, brake lights, ac, heater fan) it takes away a little power and the car tends to idle lower. to fix this the IACV allows more air past the throttle plate to bring it back up.

now that we are past that.

clean the thing out.

2, 12mm bolts hold it on to the back of the intake manifold

undo those bolts.

pull away the IACV, its gonna be black/nasty/carbonized/blah blah

take a handy dandy can of carb cleaner and spray that crap out

now its all white/silver/shiny/orbitz clean

go ahead and replace the gasket on the iacv, its figure 8 shaped, 4.97 from Honda, special order part.

put 2, 12mm bolts back on

warm car up, drive, test, be happy.

come back if that doesnt fix it

 

ok ... i have pulled it befor .. it didnt look to bad ... so i just dusted it off nad put it back on .. i didnt know i can spray the crap out of it with carb cleaner ... (is coil cleaner ok ?)

and it never had a gasket ... ill just get one anyway .

so i can just get the cleaner and spray the whole thing up and down, in and out ?

 

yeah use carb cleaner, but also check your tps sensor to see if it's bad

 

ok cool guys thanks for the help ..ill do it tomorrow morning
