Hows it going everyone? I flipped through almost 40 pages of this forum last night to find the information I was looking for. Since I hadn't registered yet I couldn't use the search feature. So I am on my way to the 5 posts i need to upload a pictured.
I have a 1988 Honda Accord "Special Edition" (Not Sure about the SE part... looks legit but also looks suspicious. haha) Right now the main issue is the idle. It starts out fine at idle (1200 for warm up) and after that it will go up. I sprayed intake cleaner around trying to find a leak with no luck. Along the intake seems to be sealed well enough that it didnt change the idle. I let the engine warm up and pulled the Air Cleaner and checked the choke butterfly valve. I started it up and ran it a bit and it seemed to be in the proper open position. However, since I had removed the air cleaner the idle seemed to go to a normal idle. (800 rpm) and stayed there. I got in and put it in drive and it shuddered and shook. So obviously something is still wrong.
I put the air cleaner back on and got it snug. I started putting lines back on one at a time. I got to 2 vacuum lines that seemed to spike the idle. I pulled up the diagram for it and came up with Vacuum Line #33 and #8. I am missing the intake diaphram thing (No idea what its called.) thats on the intake side that looks similar to an EGR. It feeds into line #8.
Now. Question is. Is it easier to remove all the Emissions/Vacuum lines and do the "stage 4 delete" or should I just attempt to repair it as stock. I am not a fan of how it is now. I rather do the delete.
Thanks for the input and I am going to bring my post count to 5 so I can get some pictures attached.
