96EXCIVIC Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I have a problem with my CRX.. It is an 89 CRX DX. It has the MINI ME SWAP. The D15B2 Block with a D16Y8 Head. It Idles at 2800 Rpms and I cannot get it to come down.. I turned the Idle down and it still surges.. When it warms up , it drops to 2300 Rpms. Any Help Would greatly be appreciated.. after i drive it for like 25 mins. it drops between 1200 and 1700. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

96EXCIVIC Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 I HAVE FOUND THE PROBLEM.. A wise old man told me to take the IACV. ( IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE ) off and clean it. I did and it stopped it. It idles at 1400 rpms on warm up . and drops to 900 Rpms after warm up and driving.. ( SPECS FOR IDLING ARE 700-800 RPMS) in all HONDA's!!!! In other words. All i did was unbolt the IACV and remove the coolant hoses. I used CRC Throttle Body Intake Cleaner. and then I covered the holes and shook it up and down and all around. dumped out the remaining and did the process again. Make sure to dump out remaining, then LET DRY BEFORE USING WD-40. THEN I used WD-40 to lube up the spring and it fixed my problem.. All my wiring in straight and nothing was hooked up wrong.. Dump out the excess of WD-40 before reinstalling. It will hesitate first but it will burn of the residual WD-40 as it is FLAMMABLE.. It will save you $200 - $300 in a new IACV.. Also spray the two holes in the INTAKE and Butterfly inside the THROTTLE BODY while u r at it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
