    Question Won't stay running

    I just put a clutch in my accord, and now it won't stay running. As soon as I put it in neutral or press on the clutch it dies. Is it a vacuum or electrical? I checked all of my vacuum lines and they are good. Help Please?!?

    yeah it would be nice if you can tell why you put a new clutch and what have you done so far to the car.

    I just bought a 1986 Accord for 800 dollars and the clutch was slipping, so I put in a valeo clutch. I adjusted the fast idle and now it will run. I am having a lot of vibrations when I ride on the highway. Also, there was a wire that I found that cannot connect to anything that broke. It is connected to the wiring harness around the starter. It has two wires coming out of it, but I have no idea where it goes. Everything is completely stock. This is my first honda. I have owned a thunderbird SC, and a GTP. I am not used to this low of power, so I guess I have to turbocharge this one.

    Timing Can be Off

    Check your timing and maybe even you solenoid switch, it might be stuck
