Default low idle

its on my beater 94 accord ex. it idles at about 300-400 rpms...it still drives fine, and the idle doesnt raise/drop at all if the ac is on or off...

i dont know anything about hondas, and i couldnt even tell you what motor is in it. i just wanna fix the idle. i replaced the plugs, and it didnt fix it, and before i do the wires and stuff i want to find out if there is anything else that can be wrong.

oh and if you want to help and tell me something to try, make sure to tell me where everything is too... im still trying to find the other 4 cylinders

there should b a screw right on the front (where the air goes in) that u can adjust to raise ur idle. it will b a flat head screw in a small recess... have the car runnin and adjust it one way and if it goes down then turn it the other way. hope this helps u out. if u need to just pm me

Default Re: low idle

Before messin with the idle screw, check the IACV. If it was unplugged or broken it could cause this. Also, clean the area around the screw with carb/intake cleaner... it may just be gummed up.

on the back of the intake manifold, it should have some small coolant hoses going to it.
