Re: prelude rpms drop when I tap throttle
95 civic H22a. Its like I run lean when I tap the gas peddle. The rpms will drop and its just wrong. No codes at the moment, but I have a jdm ecu in right now. I'll stick a domestic ecu in and look for a code too.
It revs perfect all the way to 7k., but rpms drop when I tap on gas from idle.
still looking for ideas..

Re: prelude rpms drop when I tap throttle
really? hmm and you have been driving it that way? I really want to take care of it this week. Maybe my tps sensor needs to be adjusted or not.
Have you checked/replaced anything yet?
I just put my cylinder head back on after having the seats fixed. I took the intake and exhaust manifolds off. Now I'm having this problem So Its there somewheres.

Re: prelude rpms drop when I tap throttle
yes i mean the car runs better than new i never have any problems with it really but when i just tap it for a quick millisecond it drops rpms for a sec and then go right back to perfect idle

Re: prelude rpms drop when I tap throttle
I think I will play with the screw on the throttle cable. Other then that I have no idea. I'll look extra hard for a vacuum leak or what not. I'm gonna put my air boost valve plate back on.

Re: prelude rpms drop when I tap throttle
might be normal...
my ITR would do the same thing. You're at idle and you give the throttle a quick stab, no to the floor, just enough to make a difference and the rpm needle dips then raises?
if so it's due to the large t-body/plenum volume and i wouldn't worry about it.

Re: prelude rpms drop when I tap throttle
Ya I think its just an ineficient old engine. I had a really bad dip. But I messed with somthing and it stopped.. I had a Tiny vacuum leak or messed with the cable or somthing.
I did turn the screws on the cable to raise the idle rpm. So when I was idling at about 1800-2200 I had no dip in the rpm/power. I belive its too quick for the computer to compensate for... I'm not worried anymore.
thx for the ideas.
