idle valves?

 

I would clean your IACV (intake air control valve)

where is that located and how do i do that?

 

if you have an f22, it would be on the back of the intake manifold closest to the passenger side...if you have an h22, it will be on the front of the intake manifold right smack dab in the middle...

i doubt this is the problem, though...

check to make sure that your coolant level is high enough...also, try unplugging your map sensor and see if the surging stops...if not, try unplugging your egr and see if it stops then...if either of these work, there are ways to bypass both...but first, check and see if that works...

 

Edit: nick beat me to it...going for the 'generalized post'

Remove it and clean out the honeycomb screen looking thing

Some recommend carb cleaner

too bad i only win the races on h-t and not the ones with my car huh...

 

do i have 2 take alot of stuff off 2 get 2 it? where is the map sensor and the egr? if that works how do i bypass it? also my fan quit working so im running without a hood 2 help keep it cool

 

my 97 accord had the same problem, the coolant was low

 

Would it not help if the original poster gave sufficient details such as the year and engine and miles, and a little repair history ??

Our '88 Accord w/carb had a high idle problem which defied any adjustments. Turned out the PCV valve was shot !
Fuel injection is so much neater and easier.

teh h22 can nev4r los3

 

coolant is fine. its a 91 accord wagon dont know how many miles for 1 its a junkyard motor and 2 my vehicle speed sensor is out so speedometer dont work.

 

map sensor is a little black box about 1" x 1" or so and has vaccuum lines coming out of it...(or maybe the f22's are different than my h22 setup, can't remember)....the egr is a little cyinder looking thingy on the left side of the intake manifold...

 

/\ that sounds about the same...without looking at my engine bay, it sounds like it is in the same place

 

found problem. guy i bought it from plugged a hose thats behind intake manifold. im told that it either goes into the bottom of the manifold or 2 the egr. really dont know what 2 look 4 putting it back on

 

i thought i found the problem. still does it. im out of ideas. did find a hose and put it on but thats not it either
