Buying a 95 Accord lx with non-vtec engine.

It idles ok, but when the rear defrost, AC, power steering, or any other heavy mechanical/electrical load is placed on the engine, it will drop in RPM and shudder pretty badly.

It does have a bad engine mount, but I'm more concerned about the drop in rpm. I think if I clean the TB out, and the IAC, would be a good start, then move to plugs/wires, and maybe timing belt, since it needs it anyway...

It has 162k on it, and it's never had basic maint done to it...but I'm getting it for cheeeaaapp....

any insight would be great...I just want to see what I'm in for...I also work at a dealer, but I don't always trust a tech first hand...lol

 

Start with that. Look at the sticky in the FAQ's for Cleaning the IACV.

 

Thanks man...I'll give it the ol college try :D

 

Consider changing the mount.

 

Clean the egr ports It's real easy,Get a can of chemtool b12(makes job easier)Take the three bolts off fuel rail remove fuel rail( you do not have to remove fuel lines ) remove the five bolts on the plate below the injectors,clean out the holes pull the plate apart and clean it real good also

 

cool thanks, we replaced the motor mount, that helped a good bit, but I think with a little make up maint. she will be great!
