    Unhappy How do you adjust the Throttle of a 86 Accord LX-i

    I have a 1986 Accord LX-i and my idle is extremely low, every time i push on the gas it sounds like it's gonna cut off and then when i let go, the needle drops really low and you can hear the engine rattling like it's gonna fall out or something. So will some one please halp me out and tell me how to adjust this thing.

    Try ajusting the idle look for a flat head screw next to the red line coming off near your throttle body

    Looking in your motor, its in the very back on the top

    You'll see the PGM-FI sign..

    Towards the front bumper of that sign, you see a little round wheel with some wire around it. That is your throttle, move the wheel, if you have the motor on it'll rev the motor up.

    The screw will be right there.
