Ok this Accord I got to fix up ismoving right along. Fixed the turn switch today, now lights go up and down too. Next thing...

Clutch seems fine when you first start the car up and drive doesn't slip, but sometimes well not let me out of first or reverse. Is this a clutch cable that needs to be adjusted? This also seems worse once I've driven the car for about ten minutes (once it's warmed up).

Also, in the end of my little trip around the neigborhood today the idle went back up to 2000rpms when I put it in neutral. It usually is cold at a loud 2000rpms but drops to 1500 and then 900-1000 after a few minutes. So I was wondering what could bring the idle back up like that after it has been warmed up and driven a bit?

It seems that maybe it's corelated with the clutch somehow, but I don't know anything about clutches or transmissions.

Thanks in advance for your answer(s).

1986 Accord

Carb engine

I have heard a high hissing sound that I thought might be a seperate issue, that I was going to investigate tomorrow. It's right under the carb somewhere but tought to locate I think without taking the air cleaner off.

Thanks.

Anyone on the clutch question???
