UP UP, my car sometimes is at like 1,400 then sometimes below 1,000 if it goes below 1,000 the car shakes like crazy, not sure whatsup? when it goes below 1,000 it feels like the A/C comes on.

that seems kind of high... mine is usually 750 + or - 50

between 600 and 800 rpm

 

my car is at 1500 usually when its col...but it drops after a while...something is def wrong though and im too lazy to check it out...

 

750 +/- 50 rpm

 

I usually turn my car off at the park.

 

So what could be causing my problem then? with the shaking and all?

 

bad motor mount??? thats exactly what happend on my previous car.....one of the shop said it was a bad motor mount and the other one said that i needed a diagnostic service to check the problem.

 

i think the shaking is just the nature of a large bore 4 banger at low rpm's. mine did it my uncle's did it. then i adjusted the idle up to 900 and smoothed it all out. don't think it's a bad motor mount. and as far as i know all accords idle high when they're cold. as it warms the idle drops to a normal range

 

start by replacing spark plugs, wires, and your air filter.
then u probably need to have the timing redone.

 

check your timing, and then if it is not that check to make sure that all you vacume hoses are connected. I had that problem, and it was the vacume hoses.

 

Actually, our cars have a small bore, large stroke configuration.

 

my stupid idle sensor is messed up so it has its ranges from 800-2200 until it gets warm it goes down to 800 and tries to stay there

 

i actually set my timing a few days ago, put in new plugs, cap , rotor , wires; car is misfiring . gaps are all right and the same plugs are hoocked up correctly. ? i'm thinking coil or ignitor . I have a " little " leak with either valve seals or piston rings but, never har misfires.....

 

ill try the vacum hoses, i replaced my rear motor mount a few months ago, its a bitch. If i have a leak somewhere how can i check them?

750 +-15

Check filters, firing and timing...and vacuum.

sorry, meant to say large displacement. i knew that (long stroke small bore just like a diesel), that's part of the reason we have such a nice torque curve with these f-blocks.
