your erratic idle is caused by three possible things a vacuum leak your fast idle thermo valve of your idle air control valve. you can spray around with startin fluid on the lines to see if you can get your car idle to spike if its not that you can clean your IACV it's on the back of the intake manifold use carb cleaner in the ports and make sure you dry it well. as for the fast idle thermo just find a junkyard or recycler and replace.

I have been having this issue for a couple of years since living in FL. I would take my '91 manual, LS Integra out during lunch time in the summer and then when I was ready to return to the office, the thing wouldn't start. I would have to wait a few moments and then try it again. Usually it would start after a few tries. No one believed me when I told them this was happening. Now it seems to be happening again. The mechanic checked the distributor and noted that there seemed to be debris/interference on the connection (sorry for my lack of knowledge on this but that is the best I can do) and he replaced 'leads'?, cleaned it up, replaced the "gunky" spark plugs (due to all that cranking of the engine he says) and then it started right up. He started it up on and off all day on Thursday with no problem. I picked it up on Friday (started strong, like a dream), drove it to my job and then parked it overnight. I went to pick it up on Saturday and no go.  The engine cranked but would not start. We are at a loss here. Any thoughts out there as to what it might be? We have it narrowed down to ignition switch, computer related or distributor but my gut says it is something simple and not so obvious so I'm turning to my fellow Integra owners. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Nyla

Forgot to add. . .it started up perfectly this Monday morning. My mechanic doesn't think it is the Main Relay as he recalls the check engine light coming on during "cranking". Is it light staying on or off? I don't remember. . .any thoughts?
Thanks again.

I have the same problem with my 96' Integra. I live up North in Canada, and the problem only happens during summer time for me. I usually have to wait 1 hour atleast until i can start the car again. A few things i did was: right after you turn the key, press the acclerator right after. This worked sometimes for me. I also sometimes have to play around with a couple of wires under the steering wheel, which helped alot but not all the time. I have taken the car to alot of people and no one can figure out, even Acura Dealership couldnt figure out the problem so far. Will keep you updated if something good happens. Some have said it could be the Alternator, but havent tried that suggestion yet.

They have a term for this condition, it's called the "petrol station relay". The relay controls the FUEL PUMP. Click on the link on message #15 and wander around the site, they explain it in detail.

Adjust '91 Integra idle speed at startup?

I have a recently acquired '91 Integra (B18A1)with 5 speed transmission. I'd like to slow down the inital idle speed at cold startup. It seems to run at at 1,800 rpm for a couple of minutes each time I cold start it. Incidentally, I live on the central coast of CA so "cold" start means first start of the day even though the outside temperature is usually 55 degrees or so. The fuel delivery system probably has 286K miles on it as that's the odometer reading, altho the engine/transmission were replaced just prior to my purchase. The only manual adjustment I can locate is the brass idle screw at top of the throttle body and that doesn't seem to change anything much. I removed the air intake tube at the throttle body and sprayed the throttle plate with carb cleaner, that seemed to speed things up even more! Any input would be appreciated!

After checking out the Haynes Manual a little further, I find reference to disconnecting the electrical connector at the Idle Air Valve before adjusting the idle air screw. Now I need to find out the proper way to disconnect that connector without breaking it in the process. I suspect it probably is done in a straight down fashion from the connector, but wonder if there isn't an unlatching process first. Any suggestions available?!
