    89 Accord LXi idle issues

    So this past sunday I changed my distributor since I needed a new one. After I changed it, suddenly my idle started acting funny and going from 1100-1800 after warm up. I wondered if it had anything to do with my Distributor cap gasket. I took the old one off my old dizzy since I didnt get one with the whole new dizzy I ordered(lame), but when I took it off it was brittle and broke so I had to glue it till mine comes in the mail. So far I checked for vac leaks, bled the coolant, try tapping the IACV to see if it would change idle, and check the round plastic thing under the FITV and it is all the way down? What the hell is going on here! Has anyone else had this problem, and if so how did you fix it?

    Did you look at your timing when it was warmed up?

    What was it doing since you thought it needed a new distributor rebuilds are questionable at best.
