okay ill admit this first, i haven't drove a stick since i first learned how to drive 5 years ago... so if i'm just forgetting how a stick drives sorry.

i just got my 5 speed 92 accord dx, she has a
F22a with 4-2-1 header - CAT system - cold air intake- 80k
BUT a still drove her home with no issues(yay like riding a bike!) i did notice it seems to idle really rough. The weird part is if i apply the gas, even the smallest amount, it stops sounding so rough.

thanks for the help

 

 

Well, I guess we'll just have to determine if it is indeed rough or just 'sounding' and 'feeling' rough.
If it's just 'sounding' and 'feeling' rough, you could have an issue with either a motor mount, a loose bracket or something rubbing / hitting against something else.

right on - tightened everthing just now and it's back to a nice smooth ride

 

Yeah, just for future reference to anyone searching for an answer to this problem:

I had the same problem, a rough idle, in my 92 accord lx. couldn't figure it out to save my life. Then I went to clean my throttle out and noticed that my hose from the airbox to the throttle body intake was a little bit loose. cleaning that thing out and making sure all of the connections were tight solved the problem instantly. It was like magic. so simple...

 

ill have to do that to NOW my steering wheel is locked and wont unlock with the normal "turn 'n' jiggle" method. im stranded!
