Default Rough Idle..91 Honda Accord


Have an inconsistant idle at normal temp. At traffic lights, and sudden stops.
Seems to just want to starve out and the alternator light will flash. Have NO codes for it, idle rpm set, tune-up, passes smog ?? Anybody else incurre this problem?? Runs great outside of this ill-normacie

Try cleaning your IACV. http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthre...highlight=iacv

You might also try the coolant temp sensor ( I think it's mounted below the distributor). It is not the one that drives the gauge on the dash. It's the one that tells the computer that the coolant (and engine) are at operating temperature. If it fails, then the computer starts adjusting the timing as if the engine was cold. Goofy things happen. This did the trick for me several years ago.
Like Cousin It stated...Cleaning the IACV is a good idea too. (Idle air control valve) both problems will cause similar symptoms.

Good luck.
