I realize these issues have been discussed in other threads but im looking at many possible causes and I was hoping I could get some help narrowing it down to my specific situation
My car is an 87 lxi fuel injected accord
for several months it has had a rough idle when in gear and on a cold start and ive just been assuming its something small like a vacuum leak but its been getting worse in the past few weeks
The idle is rough in gear but mostly fine when in park or neutral and more recently ive been having delayed acceleration from a stop and now im having trouble starting the car, it will start and immediately die.
I have a pgmfi code 12 for the EGR
The idle will drop below 1000 and hover a bit and it idles smooth at 1000
I've cleaned and tested the EGR valve and replaced the vacuum lines connected to it and the valve is working but the light is still on
ive sprayed down the engine with carb cleaner and cant find a vacuum leak so im not really sure what to do
Im thinking the starting problem is because the mix of air to gas and possibly something in the EGR system is broken and thats whats causing all these problems
Thank you for your time I cant really afford to take it in and get worked on its my only car and money is tight but im up for trying any suggestions you have
Edit: No longer have the pgmfi code, EGR is fixed but same idle issues
