1986 Accord Dx/carb 213k
When I start this car up in revs around 2000 for a good five mintues before it drops down to 1k. That's only after I tap the gas pedal a few times. Is this normal for a car this age? Or is it something I can adjust to make it go down? Will new spark plug wires help maybe? They look kind of shot. Idle speed screw? (I might note that I have gone through all vacum lines and replaced damaged lines/hissing noises are gone.)
Also, I see where the PCV tube leads from the air filter housing to the cam shaft cover (that's it right?) but I don't see any pcv valve. There is what appears to be a pre-filter on the side of the housing where the tube mates up. I had bought a replacement valve. Does that go on the camshaft cover end? Or more towards the cleaner housing?
Thanks all for the help. I almost have this thing running well.
