Picked up a 94 LS the other day for $1000, decent shape, but runs really well, no pics to share yet but I got a couple of issues.

The Good
-Interior probably 8/10, doesn't have the "jdm seat rip".
-All stock, with the exception of a muffler. Vtaaaak
-Came with two new BWR LCA's.
-Clean title

The Bad
-Code 41 Primary o2 Sensor Heater
-ABS code 48 Left Rear Wheel Sensor
-Paint not so good (some obvious bondo and touch up work), little rust around the wheel wells in rear
-Lowered on shitty coil overs (sleeves)

Anyway when starting up the RPM shoot to about 2200, after a few minutes of driving it settles around 700 or so. I've had an integra, and other civics in the past and I've never had a high cold idle before. It's high and bouncing, but goes away and runs normally.

 

Bouncy idle is usually caused by a dirty IACV so you can start with that.

 

Alright cool thanks, haven't had the time to really do anything to it except check the codes.

 

depending on how cold it is a high idle at first is normal the bouncing isn't, bleed the coolant system first and see what happens. what engine/engine year tho, assuming a non vtec B.

 

It's got a stock LS motor in it and a supposed stage 1 clutch....according to the previous owner. I don't know about all that because the clutch feels stock and everything is super smooth.

My plan for this thing is to get it cleaned up, starting with taking out all of the fabric pieces of the interior and giving a good cleaning, then I'll do some body work and go from there.

Alright not sure what happened, but I opened the hood all the way, heard a popping noise and now my hood wont latch. The latch on the hood actually goes PAST the mechanism to keep the hood closed. When I say past i mean the hood is overlapping the bumper by about an inch. I've tried to adjust the hinges and realign the best I could but it won't line up.

 

The B18B1 ("LS motor") doesn't have VTEC.

 

I know, never said that it did.
