Re: Idle Problems Worse
Vaccum leak man....Id almost put money on it, take a squirt bottle and spray all of your vaccum lines, and around the manifold seals. If it stops for a second when you spray then you know you've got a leak....

Re: Idle Problems Worse
I couldn't find a diagram but I did find this. http://crxresource.org/modules.php?n...rticle&sid=117
And the vaccum lines are the black rubber hoses attached to the manifold, they are mostly grouped together on the firewall side of the manifold.They are small, and black....

Re: Idle Problems Worse
Well i poped the hood and saw one black small hose on the driver side of the manifold so i pulled it off while the car was running and then it almost died. So then i went the the other side and saw 2 small black hose pulled the top one off and it idled really high pulled the pottom one off and did the same thing as the top. Now what do i do.

Re: Idle Problems Worse
Why are you pulling hoses? You're supposed to spray them with water. If the problem corrects itself when you spray a hose then that hose has a hole in it. You can use duct tape temporarily over that hose until you replace it. Don't pull your hoses off cuz you'll just mess it up...

Re: Idle Problems Worse
try using some soap with the water then when the air leaks out you'll see the bubbles. I used this when my accord had idle problems.
