This is my first Honda so please bear with me. I am decently mechanicaly inclined although my specialty is building Jeeps. I bought this accord that had been sitting for about 6 months. I needed something for better gas mileage around town. THe car started up and drove great except for a high idle. The radiator has a crack in it and it was low on water so I figured the temp sensor was telling the ecu to engage the choke. I filled it up with water and the idle went down to about 800. Great. The next day the idle was back up and I couldnt do anything to kick it down. Its 100+ degrees over here so The car ended up overheating into the red for a minute or so while sitting idling high so I shut it off. THen it didnt want to start at all. After cranking off and on for 5 minuites it finally started but when I shut it off it wouldnt run again.
So my problems are. High idle and now no/rough start.
Ive tried resetting the ecu. unlugging all the sensors and plugging them back in checking connections. checked all the fuses and found the ecu clock fuse was blown. Replaced it, still nothing.
