Throttle Response???
Hey all, this is a serious newb question, but I thought someone here might know the answer. I just bought my first honda powered vehicle a 1990 Integra LS, 5 Speed, Stock everything else (for now).
I have noticed a quirk with the throttle response when shifting. When depressing the clutch/realeasing the throttle for shifting up, the rpms tend to stay the same, rather than drop as most manual cars I have driven do. If I remain off the gas, the rpms come down to idle within a second or two, but this is troublesome for normal shifting. Is this type of freewheeling normal for the honda/acura engines, or should I be looking at something in the throttle/intake parts of the engine for a problem. I noticed this quirk on other hondas/acuras that I test drove prior to buying this one. So, I tend to think that these small high revving engines have slower rpm decrease. But, I have worked on/driven toyotas/vw's without experiencing this. Any ideas??? Thanks Joe |

a lightweight flywheel will lest it rev and fall quicker.

LadyBug--thanks for the link, looking at the forums for something
Redmanjd--i understand what your saying but I am not sure that it answers the question. Basically the question is this, should the rpm fall quickly when letting off the throttle to shift??? Currently my teg doesn't. I admit that this is my first honda motor and the first time i have experienced this in a car. I am wondering, in stock form, if this is normal. Thanks Joe |

yes it is normal because these cars need that inertia(spelling) to keep them going, such as up hill

Yeah, its also for economy. Which means because it takes more to get it spinning, it will accelerate a little slower, but you can drive around a little easier. A lightweight flywheel should give you the opposite.
