i got a b16a in my 90 hatch and it wont stay at idle.....when the car is cold itll stay at about 2 grand then once it warms up the idle will fall below 1 causing the car to die?????? ive checked all my vacum lines and throttle cable but no matter what i do the idle wont hold at 1 and car just keep on dieing? do you guys have any idea on what can be causing this??? any help is appreciated..thanx

 

check your solenoids for proper functioning, thats all i can think of, did you have any hoses left over?

 

nope no hoses left over! ???????

 

Aslo check to see if you have a vacum leak. Make sure there are no holes in your hoses, this will cause your **** to idle crazy!


Do you have the A1 or A2 i would assume the A1 since it is a cable tranny. Because the intake vacum hoses are different between the 2!

try adjusting your idle. you can take a can of carb cleaner and spray it around the intake while the car is running to find vacuum leaks. but it sounds to me like the idle needs to be adjusted up.

 

Have you checked or messed with your fuel pressure? Mine dies at start up because of overfueling cold start. Sometimes at a light it will start to flood also if it idles too long. check it out.
