MY CAR IDLE's LOW..

[bigearsdelux]

my car idle's very low to the point where the whole dashboard shakes.. i got a 93 honda civic w/ about 98,000 miles.. it goes below 1 rpm when im at a stoplight.. can anyone help me with this?

This sounds stupid but have you tried to turn up the idle screw? Next try some carb. spray. I use throttle body it's a stronger mix than carb. cleaner. Make shure you turn the right screw not the one on the carb.

I don't think there is a carb on a 93.

lol.. there is a little idle screw somewhere on your intake manifold. Mess with it until it's about 750-900 rpms at idle. Cleaning it all out wouldn't hurt either.

well i got a cold air intake.. so do i clean out the filter? cuhz that shit looks pretty dirty.. oh.. and this happened after i got a carwash.. so does water getting in it harm the car?...

When was the last time you gave the car a tuneup? I would do this first before adjusting any idle screws.

never got one since i bought this used car..never thought i really needed it.. sometimes it feels as if my car slips at initial gears (auto) and it lacks acceleration.. then i let go of the gas.. wait a second. and press the gas agen.. and it catches on gear fine. thanks for helping guys

you could reset your ecu too, pull out your ecu fuse, leave it out for a bout 5-10 minutes, then put it back in and turn the car on, dont touch the gas for about 5-10 minutes, then you should be set
