Default air/fuel adjustment

i installed an intake and the car bogs because it's getting to much air and not enough fuel...can anyone tell me where the air/fuel adjuster is on a 92 accord f22a1?

An intake won't cause that problem... are you sure you reconnected everything after you installed it?

everything is hooked up right...when i start it and hit the gas a little the engine check light comes on and the rpm's go up to 2k and back down to 1k until i drive it, but sometimes when im at a red light or stop sign it will start again.

You need to find out what code the check engine light is throwing.

Did you reset the ECU after installing the intake?
Sounds like your car is in "closed loop mode" which could explain the bogging down.
I would start by resetting the ECU (Pull the "radio/backup" fuse form the underhood fuse box. leave it out for 15 or 20 seconds, then reinstall it.)
Start the car and let it fully warm up before driving it. The ECU may need to "re-learn" the settings since you installed an intake.

If the CEL comes back on after you reset the ECU, get the code and post it here.

maybe he means an intake manifold?
theres no way an intake will cause too much trouble unless it was installed incorrectly

yes. im thinking he meant the intake manifold. A friend of mine rebored his to increase flow and it screwed up his ecu for about 5000 miles.
