I recently installed an Air/Fuel gauge and a fuel pressure gauge. I set the psi to stock and I'm trying to play with the idle screw on the throttle body so that it idles at Stoich. without sounding like a have an air leak, and, at least, below 1000 rpm.

But it seems no matter what I do, it seems to idle 'rich'. Is this normal? Does everyone's Honda do that?

 

when its cold the fast idle kicks it well over 1000 rps, about 14-1500 rpm, and then when that kicks off, mine will idle at about 950 rpm. just let it warm up for a minute and kick the gas rela quick and it should go down.

 

I'll let the car warm up to operating temperature and adjust the screw until the gauge reads Stoich. But when I go for a drive and then wait at a red light, it'll dip into the rich band.

I shouldn't have to kick-it down, it's not carbed.

 

Thoese guages are totally inaccurate.

Take it to a dyno.
