1993 LS

It only does it first thing in the morning when it's really cold or if I'm doing a bunch of short trips (go somewhere run inside for 5 mins, go outside and turn it on it'll usually take 2-3 tries to get it to stay on)

Anyone else ever have that problem?

 

Can you hear the fuel pump priming?

 

Do you have the hold the key and it'll keep running?

Could be the electrical portion of the ignition switch.

Then again more likely the Main relay.

I had a b16 hatch for a while that would do the same thing but it wouldn't turn back on right away like this one will. It would also only do it very rarely... this one does it almost every time.

 

Set your base idle and clean the IACV and FITV.

The base idle is not 750 RPM. It is usually 450+-50 RPM. This is set by disconnecting the IACV and adjusting the idle set screw on the throttle body. If the base idle is too low and the IACV is having problems, the car can stall.

See my signature for a manual for your car.

450, really?

This is my 4th integra and they've all idled at 700+- 50

Well lets say that the idle is 750... you said that if it's too low that it can stall, if anything its too high.

When you reconnect the IACV, it adds more air to bring the idle to 750 RPM. Without the IACV connected on a wam engine, the idle should be 450 (check for your car's specifics in a manual).

I noticed that if I hold the gas pedal in just slightly while I'm turning it on it will stay on.
