'88 LX-i Idle Problems (yes... another one)

[Dr_Snooz]

Haynes and Chilton both are silent about bleeding the system properly. What is your best method? From what I can tell the EACV is the highest point in the system.

Well, you're supposed to open the bleeder bolt on the thermostat housing while you fill the system with coolant. It's the little bolt that has a hollow nipple on it. When coolant comes out of it in a steady stream, close it and you're done. That's how it's supposed to work. Mine never has. I usually start the engine and then crack the bleeder and let it geyser for awhile. That's how it does work for me. Good luck.

Pick-n-pull tomorrow...
Bastards scrapped a PAIR of Vigors on thursday. I had already packed all the tools I needed for the sway bar. Now they are on thier way to razor blades. What a pisser...

Problem is still intermittent. I think I'll pull a fast idle valve as well (for $10 it's hard to go wrong).

I pulled two EACV's and one Fast Idle Valve. I figured I'd save my self the 1hr trip and get the second one. I also bagged 4 new looking injectors for $5.99 each. What a bargain.

I saw the Acuras on the other side of the fence waiting for the melter... so sad.

I'll install one of the EACV's tomorrow, weather permitting.
