Super High Idle - HondaClub.com

undr8ed · 03-17-2008, 05:29 PM

Hello, I own a 1986 Civic Si. I currently have a super high idle, at about 3000RPM. I'm looking to track down an engine code reader to plug into my car to tell me what the problem is. I live in AZ, where can I find one, what brand is it, and how much is it? Any other ideas would be useful, I'm also wondering if this could be a Throttle Position Sensor problem or if anyone else has any ideas.
Thanks,
undr8ed

Autozome sells code readers. I think you can actually rent them. I don't know, since I never deal with that kind of stuff on my own. Could be a TPS or O2 sensor. Also the MAP (I think it used to be MAP, whatever the intake sensor) might be a problem. Check/change the air and fuel filters and also throw in some injector cleaner. Those might help.

try missing around with the gas wire
and see if you can move it in the oposite direction
