idle drops from intermittenly - 3/15/2008 1:11:26 PM    sinister1   Posts: 8 Joined: 12/9/2007 Status: offline Hi, Posted before on this topic.  95 accord vtech codes are clear high milage 250k running well. At idle when stoped in gear on and off the idle will drop about 100 rpms havent put it on a tach just using the one in the dash. When the idle drops the car runs rough meaing you can feel a shake. Any advise appreciated. Lee Post #: 1

Then while you have the Berrymans in your hand, grab up a softbristle brush [wifes toothbrush works great] and scrub out the ring of crud around the throttle plate. I hold the throttle open by using a long screw driver under the cable and bracing it on the top of the intake. < Message edited by hondadude -- 3/15/2008 3:57:08 PM > _____________________________ This post was made by a REAL Hondadude, not the wanna be Honda_Dude 85 Yota pickup 235k miles "never say die" 22r engine. 92 Acura Legend 70k miles.
