Hey everyone... something weird is happening to my car. Me and my friend sprayed a bottle of the throttle body cleaner and the usual happened... hard to start, etc. Before, the idle was fine but now, its high after I sprayed the bottle in. The idle is about 2500 and I have been driving the car for about 2 weeks now. Can someone give me some ideas of what is going on? Also, he said I can adjust the idle speed with a flat head screwdriver... but is that screw really hard to turn? Thanks for the tips.

 

did the throttle get stuck?

idle adjustment is at the top of the t/b use screwdriver

^_^

 

misa, what do you do wehn the adjustment screw is so corroded yu0 cannot get a screwdriver to turn it?


is the sitmaiation wif my LX-i beater.

 

ah ^_^

pb blaster? try taking an impact screwdriver to it ?

 

maing, like the slot you stick the screwdriver is too shallow. It just slips off. I dunno why it is that way but it pisses me off.

it idles at 250rpm.

w00t!!

 

the throttle body isnt stuck cause I tried pushing the cable holder down and when I release it, it goes back to the same high idle. How hard should the screw be to turn to adjust the idle? Thanks

 

lol, damn

well if you can find the same screw from somewhere to replace it, take the t/b off, soak it in pb blaster overnight,try again. And if that does not work out use a screw extractor, drill hole, use screw extractor....

 

yarg.....ill do it at work.

 

Is yout throttle cable adjusted too tight?

 

i tried adjusting it before but like what Accord94DX said, the slot is really shallow and i remember its pretty impossible to turn. Anyone have any ideas?
