Re: civic idles high
Did it just start doing this? Is it a swap or original engine? Does it do it when it's restarted after it's warmed up or just when it's cold and hasn't been driven?
Maybe coolant temp sensor, maybe fast idle thermo valve.. Could be a couple of things actually. Need more info, anyone have any other ideas?
