idle adjustment...

[maxracing2001]

ok.. after the second day... i have noticed that whenthe engine is warmed up... it idles to low around 550... and it kinda starts to tremble and shake... they told me all i have to do is adjust the idle screw to around 750 or 800 rpm when in idle... i want to know exactly how to do this...

oh and when the a/c is on( hella cold, i love it) and i am stopped at a light the rpm's will jump to around 1100 and die real fast to 550 or whatever... is this normal???

you guys know of any nice rims that aren't too expensive???

Not sure how to adjust the idle.  But the AC, my old Cutlass used to do that.  When I would have the AC running, my RPMs would jump around.  My sisters Prelude does that also.  I think its normal, if not, I have driven 2 un normal cars, lol.  My DX CRX idles low too, I think around 800.

Losen the bolt that holds the throttle rotor in place and tighten it.  In other words, have it where the cable has less slack in it.

Check your Idle air control Valve.  It's the one on the back of the intake manifold.  Sometimes it gets plugged in wrong, as the wire for the tandem valve fits on it.  Check that and if that doesnt work then check to see if the valve is functioning properly.   Low Idle can be adjusted, but erratic Idle is a different problem.  Also the Water temp sensor for the ECU could be faulty.
