eratic idle
I recently saw some posts regarding eratic idle problems after a "cold" start (not a warm engine). Several replies suggested that I remove the cover of the fast idle valve and then tighten the inner valve. When I remove the cover I can't find anything to tighten...all I see is the valve itself. What should I be looking for to tighten...is there a screw or something?

RE: eratic idle
I finally got around to taking a pic of the fast idle valve. I don't see where you could tighten something?

Thanks Desert, tightening up the fast idle valve fixed it. My car idles better during all conditions let alone when its cold. Easy fix too.

RE: eratic idle
hey i hav the same prob.. ive had it for a while.. changed many sensors but not the fast idel or that boost valve of sensor...
i did as said on here.. and yeah it really helped.. it actually stopped surging.. but afte like 10 blocks it started back up again.. now i did reset my ecu after i did this..
could this be just that i havnt adjusted my thortle body cable correctly and that air vavle screw on the manifold.. i just tightened that fast idel valve reset the ecu and went.. do i need to properly readjust my thortle body cable and that air screw.. or what other things could it be..
thank you for any and all attention given .. you and we are all doing a good thing helping eachotehr out..
thanks to all
and one lov..
lov my accord and lov yours..
