87 Accord... please read
Ok, I posted about my 87 Accord idle problem the other day, butI had just bought it and now that I have had it for a week or so I have studied the problem so I think I can give alittle better description. At cold start up, the ilde will start out at around 1200, then it will slowly climb to about 2500. After it runs for a couple of minutes, I can punch the gas and it will come down to about 1700, then after it warms to a certain temp,it will eventually settle at about 1400. There might me just a hair of varience in idle after it warms up completely,if you sit and watch the tach, but nothing that you can here or feel. Another thing that I have noticed is that it will continue to rev for a split second in between gears, and most of the time, it takes a second or two for the rpms to come back down. I'm pretty sure that it's carburated. I took the breather loose enough to look and it sure looks like a carb. I've been told that it sounds like a vaccuum leak, but the everything under the hood, including the hoses look to be in remarkably good shape( I know that doesn't neccesarily mean there's not a leak)I'm pretty sure that this is something very simple and I would love to be able to cure this on my own, but I just don't know where to start. Any replies would be greatly appreciated.
