AccordHEART Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 1st problem - Sounds like your IAC valve. 2nd problem - Could be a lot of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Currpt_God Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 ok so where should i start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AccordHEART Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Replace your Idle Air Control valve, That will probably fix the idle problem. It's common on Hondas. As far as being slow, Your engine might just need a tune up. Are there any other problems? Like spitting, missing, running rich, lean, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Currpt_God Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 every once in a while when i start it up it will kill its self if i dont give it gas right away.... and then it will not start again for another like 20 - 30 mins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AccordHEART Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Could be a fuel problem, or a spark problem. Check your plugs. It might be your fuel pump. I'm not sure. Not too much on repairs and things of that nature. Just going by prior knowledge/experience. You might try a fuel system cleaner, Or seafoam.

cranny Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 definitely. sounds like it needs a tuneup badly. new plugs , wires , rotor button and dizzy cap. PCV valve. sounds like your timing belt might be getting slack worn if its got that little of balls. when was it done last? timing belt and valve adjustment and tuneup , it will work mint again.
