i over rev my car the other and everytime i sart my car on cold start my rpm would be at 2.5 to 2.8 rpm and thats hella high and when its warm its saty to 1.4 rpm ...does anybody know how to deal wit this?

 

by the way this is my friends car and its a 92 integra obd1 Ls

 

how is the heat? if its not blowing very hot it could be a thermostat

 

the thermostat is coo temperature is regular and fan works fine i jus cant figure it out...i was told to check my hoses and my throttle body but my hose dont got no leak can anybody?

 

By over-revving, do you mean you miss-shifted and shot the rpms to infinity and beyond? You might have bent a valve or skipped a tooth on the timing belt. Do a valve adjustment and look at the cam alignment while your there.

And what the heck does a thermostat have to do with high idle? haha

 

when i first bought my 2000 teg, it always idled at about 1600 or so because the thermostat was worn... so the computer thought it was still cold even when it wasnt, keeping the idle high. i replaced the t.stat and problem went away

 

i had the same problem with my 97 gsr. check all the vacume hoses and then adj. the ideler on the throttle body (it's a flathead screw on the throttle body)

 

loosen up your dizzy bolts and move ur dizzy..i think clockwise till ur rpm drop a lil and tighten it !

A thermostat stops or starts the flow of coolant to the radiator, mechanically. It doesn't affect the idle at all. Making you're thinking of a temperature sensor.

my car when i exit the freeway with bad thermostat the temp. would be all the way on COLD and the rpm would be at 1200-1500 rpm for good 30 seconds then the temp. started going up and the rpm started to drop............i think thats what he means.

 

Does the word 'choke' mean anything to you?

Yea I know that it runs at a higher RPM when it's cold but it doesn't run at 2.5-2.8k RPMs... and the OP said that it warms up fine and that it runs at 1.4k RPMs when it's warm. This has nothing to do with a thermostat.

 

check the TB screw

The cooling system can effect the idle. Depending on what system, coolant flows through the fast idle thermal valve to aid during cold operation. Not sure if a 92 has a FITV but the newer tegs have them.

The newer Integras actually do not have them, and I think 96 or 95 and down do. A FITV would cause the idle to go up and down and do weird things, but not cause it to steadily sit at a high rpm.
