Is the problem only at idle?

If so, you might want first to clean the IACV:

Is your check engine light on? Any overheating?

There are many other things to check first, he needs to be more descriptive of the problem.

 

you got instant message

 

I have no light on. It seems okay when tha ac is off but when its on its like it does not have a high enough rev to support tha ac system. I ran a seafoam treatment and no luck. If it wasnt for that I wouldnt even no the car was on.

 

when i had my old sohc motor in my car, i would turn the a/c on and the cars rpms would drop alittle but i think thats normal. cause your a/c needs alittle more power from the motor to run. from what your describing, thts sound normal to me. But then again i could be wrong. just my $.02

When the A/C is turned ON, a signal is sent to the ECU to increase the engine idle rpm to compensate for the increased engine load. You may want to troubleshoot a potential problem in this circuit.

I agree. Your DIY is more appropriate. The link I provided is still useful as it gives a general method for IACV cleaning that can be helpful.

 

True, yeah I wasn't trying to start something

 

No offense taken. You added improved information to the thread.

 

v-dubs are just as gay as the guy on there commercials...

Stupid comments like this are rediculous, I just need a hand If you dont have anything important to the topic then read and move on. I think that Honda [pejorative]s are still here and I dont realy like this car but, It was cheap and I know they are reliable if it were up to me I would have baught a VW I actually had to sell that corrado because my girls girl died and I needed to buy two car. I just sold my 97 GTI VR6T and I killed poondas all day long. When you do 155 at stock suspension in your honda let me know

 

v-dubs are a pain in the *** to work on..
just like the mini cooper..
why in the hell did they mount the spare tire under the car
if u have a flat ur gonna be pissed already
and then lay in the mud and get up under a car with a scissor
jack holding it up...

 

calling hondas poondas in a honda forum.... dumb....especially when your sporting a car from doucheland.... [pejorative]

 

haha..

 

All Im sayin is that I was just looking for some help thats it. It does not require any of your So dont give your forum a bad rep by being biased.

you didn't even give us enough info to help you out with. All you said was "it idle rough" or whatever. If you think this is bad, wait 'till you go into some of the other forums. They'll bury you alive.

If you think Poondas are so bad, why don't you go ask for help in your VFub forums then?

LOL I hope so man, a turbo V6 vs. 4 cyl. Where are you going 155 mph? On a track I hope. BTW Honda's wishbone suspension is excellent.

Anyway, back to your idle problem, can you describe the issue a little better? I gave you a link to my IACV write up, but I have a feeling that the IACV is not the problem.

 

Hey guys why go off topic we should welcome people to the honda world!And mallot of people here didnt start off in a honda. But He really dose need to describe his problum a lil better for us to try to help. It could b a hundred things

 

i had a 63 bug witha 2200cc and dual carbs, loved it.
