Hi,

To my knowledge (at least in my country), some Honda Civics have a compensator solenoid the pushes on the throttle that adjust the engine's RPM to its standard idling when the A/C compressor is activated. Technically, this solenoid is nothing more but a coil and a plunger. When the compressor runs, the same relay activates this solenoid and pushes the plunger forward increasing the RPM. Pls check/clean/adjust/replace as deemed fit and necessary.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards. Thank you for using FixYa.

    Hi again,

    Incidentally, I was made to understand that in some Honda Civic intended or manufacture in and for other countries/regions have an Idle Control Solenoid Valve (ICSV) is used to
    compensate for idle speed reduction due to electrical, or other loads
    on the engine such as the compressor kicking in. The air/fuel ratio during idling is controlled by
    the Electronic Control Unit (ECU, or from 1993-on, Engine Control
    Module, ECM) and various solenoid valves such as idle control, fast
    idle and air conditioning idle control solenoid valves. With the
    exception of the air conditioning idle control solenoid valve, these
    change the amounts of air bypassing into the air intake manifold. The
    air conditioning control solenoid valve opens the throttle when the air
    conditioner is turned on by signals sent from the ECU/ECM.

1!999 civic lxi has rough idle, have replaced servo unit but the idle still rough

I would recommend that you have the throttle body cleaned out, and replace the TPS (throttle position sensor) sensor.

My clutch gets noisy once i push on it before hitting a gear.. and i have an unstable idle, it goes up and down and sometimes my engine automatically turns off.. help please.. thanks.. by the way, my car...

It sounds like the thrust bearing has collapsed causing the noisy clutch. This means a gearbox removal and clutch overhaul. The rest is a case of a service and a tune up. but the important thing is the clutch.

Whenever the a/c is turned on the engine idle drops several hundred rpm. Any ideas what would cause this?

i think you may have to too much gas in teh AC system by weight ,it should hold about 700grams of gas ,my chart is in the garage but i would imagine its about 700to 750 grams of gas for this size vehicle

Idles up and down after warm, but goes away in reverse and drive. 1993 honda accord

I had the same problem with my honda. On the throttle body there is a screw that controls idle speed. If your idle speed is around 800-1000 rpm in neutral, tighten the screw a quarter turn each try until the idle speed is around 1500 RPM. Did this stop the idle?

RPM is not stable.

adjust the RPM of the engine when the aircon is off that match the RPM of the engine when the aircon is on but not too much.
