Ok guys so I need some help please, I have a 94 accord and I've recently been having some problems with it not starting, it's kinda weird cause sometimes it'll start just fine then sometimes it won't turn over at all. Then today something else happened, I turned on the car and it was idling very low to the point where it was struggling to stay on until I reved up the engine, I've already replaced the ignition switch, it has a brand new battery, a fairly new starter, I changed out the battery terminals, I checked the grounds and I also tested my alternator which was good too, I'm struggling to find out what else it could be, if any body has any ideas please help me out

 

If AT verify the neutral safety switch is adjusted and working correctly, sometimes the shifter gums up and can affect the connection. If unsure, place car in Neutral before attempting to crank.
If MT verify the clutch pedal safety switch is adjusted and working correctly.

If the car is hard to start(good spark/fuel/starter cranks easily) the IACV may be plugged up and not allowing enough, if you open the throttle slightly when this happens does it allow for easier starts? If so the IACV may simply need to be checked for functionality.

 

I tried checking the IACV by opening the throttle like you said and it seems to have helped it start up good, I think I'm gonna try taking of the IACV and cleaning it to see if that fixes the problem, it's MT so if that doesn't fix the problem I'll look at the clutch starter switch next

 

Removal and cleaning the iacv is pretty straight forward. Check the gasket/seal for imperfections and remove it before using any solvents. Compressed air and ear swabs is what i used on my CB iacv. What is the consensus? Was it the culprit?

 

Clutch switch would prevent cranking, not ignition.

 

Explain exactly how you tested the alternator.
