'89 Prelude Idle issue
Not the usual idle problem, something a bit different.
1989 2.0 16V PGMFi 4WS. Basic spec, no O2 sensor.
If I start the car and let it get up to temp then set the idle for about 800RPM it will stay there for as long as it sits there.
If I drive the car then come to a stop the idle stays at about 1250 RPM for a few seconds then settles back to 1000 RPM.
I believe this is normal behaviour (No 02 sensor) except I think it should settle back to the idles I set - 800RPM.
It will keep doing this for as long as I don't turn the car off. When restarting the car shortly after turning it off the idle will drop to about
500 or 600 RPM and will stay there until I drive it again where the previous behaviour happens again, 1250RPM for a few seconds dropping to about 1000RPM.
I've cleaned out the Idle Control valve and put sealant between it and the throttle body but it's still the same.
Anyone any suggestions ?
Also is there anywhere I can get the wiring diagrams for the 3rd gen. Every manual I download claims to have them but only contain block diagrams or minimal wiring info.
Thanks
Ken
