The first thing is you can not adjust the idle , you will need to have the throtle plate set back to spec, when you turn the adjusting screw to raise the idle you change the tps readings and this will cause problems, a meter or scanner tool will be needed to adjust it back and then see why the idle was low, these newwer cars are all computer controlled, the computer controls the idle and much more, you may have starting problem and may even cause converter damage, have the idle adjusted back and tell them you adjusted it, the problem may be a bad or dirty idle air control valve, but have the computer scanned and see what codes are stored, good day.
First I noticed a drop in the idle ,so I turned it
Hello
When problems like this occur you need to have some testing done, there is no simple answer, this is a very complex electronically controlled engine and transmission, so when problems occur the very first thing you must have done is the system checked for fault codes and other basic checks like fuel pressure under load.
Here is what you need to do:
Get the OBD2 electronic engine control fault code test run with a scanner, both the memory test and the active engine running test, the dealer or a specialized shop are your best choice here unless you have a scanner that can read this data at home.
The next test is to have the fuel pressure tested, if it is lower than about 55 PSI there is a problem, the normal range is 55-62 PSI, if it is low first change the fuel filter and then retest the pressure, you will need a special fuel pressure test gauge kit, the test port is on the top of the engine in the pipe that supplies fuel to the injectors, looks like a tire fill valve. It would likely be cheaper to just have a shop run the tests of the OBD2 electronic engine control system and the fuel pressure test all at once, the cost will be about 1 hour labor time, labor rates vary widely by area and state so check locally for you best estimate. Personally I like the dealer, they know the car in and out and are always the best choice for quality service on this car line. Any Honda or Acura dealer can do the testing.
How do u put oil catch can on 04 rsx
Hi, if this is a modification which you wish to carry out, tou will need to find a suitable container, and fit it in a convenient location in the engine bay. Then fabricate lines from the engine breathers, ie, cam box, engine top end breather and the engine block, oil pan, breathers to the catch tank. Ensure that the catch tank is baffled and has a pressure release . breather fitted to avoid being pressurised and then dunping oil..
Look in a competition car magazine, they will have one listed for your vehicle.
Good luck.
