#20 of 98 Adjust '91 Integra idle speed at startup? by dlngpa Aug 05, 2007 (1:58 am)
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!

Replying to: dlngpa (Aug 05, 2007 1:58 am) 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?!

Replying to: nylaj (Jul 16, 2007 8:06 am) Well I know they are not the same type of cars but my friend Chewy (not his real name) has a 89 Honda Prelude Si and when he first got it, it had the same problem we cleaned the distributor, replaced the spark plugs, replaced the lines from the distributor to the spark plugs but it still wouldn't kick over because it wasn't getting any spark from the plugs, it was awhile ago but it was the coil in the distributor that was burnt out so if you replace it that should work no promises though ok

Replying to: brendo187 (Nov 12, 2007 1:49 am) Click on the link on message #15 and then click on "overview". This will help you diagnose the main relay. Regards Corkscrew

Replying to: brendo187 (Nov 12, 2007 1:49 am) does your integra not start sometimes when its hot or warm inside the car if so its the main relay,or its the coil they both dont cost much
#26 of 98 idle is a madman by carsfucked Nov 27, 2007 (2:08 pm)
I have a '90 Integra hatchback that can not sustain a consistent idle. It revs from 25000-35000 and back down constantly. I have adjusted the idle screw many times and replaced the coolant hose that was leaking when i purchased the car...any suggestions anyone??

Replying to: nylaj (Jul 16, 2007 8:24 am) I have had this problem in my 1991 GS and now a 1990 LS. I do get the "check engine" light on at time, usually on a warm day after the car has been running for awhile as well as cold days when the engine is warmed up.   I have not tried changing the relay, but I have found that the butterfly valve that is on the end of the throttle cable is the area of problem, atleast it seems that way for mine. It always restarts after tweaking this valve. My mech cleaned the mechanism and that solve it for a few days, but then the issue came back again.   I have found that moving the throttle valve cable or depressing the valve in front will sometime solve the issue. I have pictures and can explain better if one is interested.   I have never had the problem when first starting up from over night or after sitting more than 30 mins. Just once warmed or after stop and starts. Always though at the most in inconvenient times!!!   I love the 1990-1992 Integras, looking to get another in the near future. May have found one with one 56k miles. I get excellent gas mileage and low cost for insurance! I just wish Acura would go back to the liftback version!   I can explain in more detail and send pics. Leave a message and will contact via email with pics
