Hi Everyone,
I have a 1989 Honda Accord LX with 177000 mi on it. It is automatic with a carburettor. The car runs great when it runs, but it causes a stalling problem that is now acute.
The car will fast idle fine, but when it goes to slow idle I need to keep my foot on the accelerator (and one foot on the brake if in gear) to keep the car from shutting off.
So, when I drive its fine, when I come to a light I have to keep one foot on the accelerator and another on the brake to keep the car from stalling.
When in neutral as the car starts to die at slow idle it belches dark smoke.
Fuel line seems clear, fuel filters just replaced and still clean.
Fuel pump replaced two years ago, carburettor refit (kit) last month.
All suggestions most welcome. Could it be a
1. Anti-diesel solenoid problem (do I have one? where is it?)
2. Choke problem?
thanks!
