My '88 will not idle!!
I tried searching the site first, but didn't find any helpful info...
A few days ago, my Accord started not idling after it warms up...
I have to drive on a dirt, washboard road once a week, so is it possible that something in particular may have rattled loose and caused this problem. I tried to find the problem this past weekend, to no avail. [:@] During my inspection, I did however find one of the engine/trans-to-firewall bracket bolts just lying on top of the trans! [>:] Thought that it may have been the culprit if it allowed the engine to tilt, but I put a new bolt in there, and still have the problem.
Also, I don't see any disconnected vacuum lines, but I may have missed it since there's a kajillion of 'em in there!
Additionally, I had to replace both fuel filters a couple weeks ago because they were so clogged that the engine wouldn't run unless I revved the **** out of it! Thought I'd mention that incase it lends itself to the prognosis.

Thanks,
