SpeedDemon Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 youve got the right idea. check all the vaccum lines and such. run some seafoam through it too. it does wonders. check all of your grounds too and make sure that you dont have a loose wire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedDemon Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 we should have a few threads on it in here. just go to the search and type in "seafoam" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 It's just an all purpose engine cleaner. Most likely not what your problem is. Checking for disconnected or cracked vacuum lines. Car that old they should all be rubber and unless recently replaced they might be pretty worn. Check your fuel filter and fuel lines as well. Check the spark plugs for fouling. Get some carb cleaner. Lots of little maintenance things to check with a car of this age. Speaking of car this age: I have been longing for a little cvcc to store in the back of my garage for a future project. If possible you need to get some pictures up and let us know a little back history on this classic bit of Honda you have here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xeryon Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Looks nice. Judging from the blue plate I am going to guess this has been continuously registered in Cali since new?
