Bump the throttle for a second, roll down your power windows and turn on your a/c. Might work. Otherwise it's a good design and you need it.

fast idle isn't just put there for nothing ! car needs to be warmed up to mk sure that the oil and coolant flow well !

yes you can, I am 100% against it anyways, it does more harm than good. I don't have fast idle and I'm damn glad I don't, I gotta look for the pic.

i removed all that when I removed the electronic choke assembly.

...makes getting to the throttle stop screw a whole lot easier

Look where you live dude! If you're in Hawaii, yeah, you probably don't need it. If you live near the Antarctic Circle (Canada) you probably need it more often than not. Here in Texas I don't need it most of the time but it doesn't idle high for long in the summer, maybe for about 5 seconds after I get in and turn on the AC.

what is everybody against having fast idle? Isn't it good for warming the car up quickly? What's wrong with that?

hmmm how about no idle at all? u get in, start the car and u just start rolling all at once? :confused: . IF u want your car to live long, better go with the fast idle, besides its gonna be for how long? a minute or two? besides, for carb guys if we just take off, we will find ourself stalled out. never had anyone complain about fast idle before. but then, i also forgot about innovative ppl. :D

honda isn't stupid when they put the fast idle in there ! :)

it helps the flow of the coolant and oil ! and if you live in a hot place it just want idle fast you don't need to disable it ! :)
