Hey all....I have in interesting issue with my Integra. The car was down most of the time for a month while I removed the ABS system and fought brakes that did not want to bleed ( ended up being a bad master cyl ). So on one of the few occasions I drove it during this time...I went to eat lunch one day...went to leave and the throttle would die at 2000 rpm....but only in gear while accelerating. I decided to drive it home...got about a mile from the restaurant and it stopped...so I went on back to work. Car sat another couple weeks while I still fought with bad brakes and I FINALLY figured out it was the MC...put on a new one and brake are good. Randomly now the 2000 rpm issue will occur... BUT it will either do it from the time I crank the car to drive it or it will run fine. In other words... Saturday for instance....drove it with no problems. It sat parked for a couple hours...went to drive it and it was acting up. Played with the throttle screw in the IM a few times and got it to stop. Drove it 2 miles to a restaurant, an hour later I left and it was doing it again. Got it home...max speed is 40 mph in 5th gear btw. I turned the throttle screw all the way in ( I had tried various settings of it as the rmp of the car had been flaky - between all the way out and all the way in...this same problem persists ). Idle is now around 500 rpm....drove the car a few min later an it ran fine. Drove it that night twice...fine...to work on Monday, fine...on the way back from lunch...acting up again. Again....It happens in all gears, 1st-5th and in Reverse....it will build up to 2000 rpm and then cut off...no pedal\throttle response...I push in the clutch, rev the motor ( and it revs fine with the clutch pushed in ) and it seems to reset something as I then have throttle response when I let the clutch out in gear....but again only up to 2000 rpm. I can drive the car in each gear to 2000 rpm...try to go over that and I lose throttle...push in the clutch and rev to get it back....if I am careful I can drive each gear to 2000 rpm but like I said above....40 mph in 5th gear is about as fast as I can go. Any ideas? The removal of the ABS is the only factor in all of this...car ran fine before this and when its not acting up...runs great....quick, powerful, etc...drove it to work t his morn with no issues....lunch time? Just need to see what happens. It seems to be random to some extent.

 

try condensing and re-posting that ramble above and i'll get back to you

I'm going to get lasik now

 

LOL....I hear ya....just trying to be thorough

basically...when in gear and accelerating ..... at 2000 rpm the throttle will die...no response, it will do this through all gears. If I push in the clutch I can rev the engine well past 2000 rpm ( which is required to get response back to the pedal when back in gear ). It ran fine this morning but might or might not do the above when I go to lunch.

You hear me, and still do it?

Break it into paragraphs.

Is there a CEL?

 

CEL.....there is one, most of the time since the ABS removal but the other day it was off and the 2000 rpm issue was in full swing.

I have not yet looked at the CEL to see what it is.

I would start there

......that would be easier if it was on all the time....but the issue occurs even when there is no CEL..... I guess I will check the CEL the next time it comes on...see what it indicates. Thanks

 

start by seeing what the code is, and let us know

 

will do

 

Im such a tard...say I have not had time to check the CEL but its not like I cant go outside at work and check the CEL at any time...which I just did btw...anyway

here is what I came up with on the CEL and cross referenced to the FAQs:

7 TPS - throttle position sensor

I guess I will start with this and see what I can figure out....any suggestions, just LMK

thanks all

 

hit up the junkyard

you can't buy aftermarket ones at part stores, they "claim" it's part of the TB

 

I am actually fortunate enough to have the motor I pulled from the car when I bought it...complete with the IM attached...I really have been meaning to swap the harness anyway as the harness on the motor in the car is dry rotted and crappy ( and is from an auto tranny car ). This will give me an excuse to pull the harness and IM off the other motor and swap it on out.
