Guys, I just had the Valve Clearances done on my ITR by Honda, my car has less than 20Ks on it, I posted a few times about a rattling/tapping noise from the engine, some of you guys suggested the Valves, which is what Honda said, problem is now that I got the car back it stalls easily, if I put it into neutral and rev to about 2000 revs and release the gas it sometimes bottoms out and stalls.
I stalled it coasting round a corner too driving back to work. The engine was half warm at the time.

What should the rev needle bounce at to stop stalling?

I’m looking at the invoice which says:

“Adjust Valve Clearances 0.6
Loose 6 & 7 Thou NP2”

What does this mean, I asked the guy at Honda but he’s the sales guy and couldn’t tell me much, should I take the car back?

Thanks Guys.

 

yes...

The guy at Honda better be able to answer all of your questions...

Is the noise less noticable?

Will

 

Take it back, I think they didn't do the job correctly...

 

Yes the noise has gone by quite a bit, I just took it back to Honda, they said it was the idle speed that's causing the stalls, took about 10 minutes to fix seems ok now.

 

Did they reset the ECU or adjust the idle rpm or both?
If they didn't do the first thing, do it yourself. Won't hurt, can only be better.

 

Not sure what they did, the ECU, y'mean diconnect the battery? If so I'll do it tonight.

 

Yup, the - pole or the backup fuse. Doesn't matter which. For about 1 minute.

 

Will do this tonight, thanks!
