How to adjust/increase idle?
Hi
I have a 90 civic si. I've been having some idle issues, the car idles around 500rpm and occasionally jumps a little...and sometimes drops below 500rpm and dies. I think on a couple of occasions, i braked hard at the light and the car died. Any ideas? i'm relatively new to this civic.
thanks

Re: How to adjust/increase idle? (to_carpediem)
There should be an idle adjust screw on the TB... What model Civic do you have... If this applies (if you have a DX with Dual Point Injection "DPI" I'm not sure, cuz i haven't really looked at that motor) then all you have to do is open the screw counter clockwise to raise your idle... Get it up to about 750 +/- 50 and you'll be set... If your car is not a DX and you want some pics then let me know... Peace
