mpearce1974 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 When you jump, or push start how long does it run afterwards? If it runs until you shut it off I am thinking battery, cause you are running off alternator, if it dies soon after jump then alternator! I take it this is reason for replacing battery,and alt, in the first place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88prelude Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 i dont think the distributor could be it cause the engine makes its own spark through the distributor not the battery it has to be something that stays on after you turn your ignition off my friend has a 91 integra and his was in an accident and didnt know before he bought it but when he puts his right blinker on or left idr both front blinkers flash but getting to the point was the car in an accident before you bought it? et a carfax report and see if it was in an accident and find out what got replaced on it previously and where Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longstuhh Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share Posted October 8, 2008 Kragen\Schucks Altenators and starters are junk! Dod you have a NAPA?? yeah i doo but i think i figured it out it was a bad ground because i got a warrenty exchange on the battery n the alt but so far so good i juss got everything in tonight... oh the reason y i got kragen's crap is cause i got a discount and well u cant turn down new cheap stuff haha.... well yeah i hope that it does fix my electrical problems.... but now i got a idle problem... lol i think its just the throttle boddy being dirty i light weight cleaned it but its like still idleing at 2-3 g'z unless i stick my foot under the pedal n push up on it then it would idle right.... this is starting to make me feel a little better but i still need to fix this problem....but yeah any more help would b appreciated =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatch92 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 if you have to pull up in the throttle then the cable is too tight or something is holding the cable up and pulling on the throttle body plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longstuhh Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share Posted October 8, 2008 umm i loosened the throttle cable but even so y did it start to do that right after i got all the parts back in the electrical thing seems to be in the past now but how or y would the throttle start now? any suggestions into how i should aproach this problem? besides loosen slack .... oh also the guy at kragen said to f*ck with the idle screw or what ever any ways i tightened it all the way while i was messing with it and it seemed to have been idleing at around 1500 shouldnt it have cutted off because of no oxygen getting into the motor?

88prelude Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 the idle screw adjusts the idle not the amount of air going into the engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
