Is there a way I can adjust the idle to 2000 rpm?

 

yes but thats bout 1200 rpm too high. why do you want it that ghig?

 

You can adjust your idle cable to whatever rpm your little heart desires but 2000 is TOO high. 800-1300 is accepted. At least to me.

 

theres an idle adjustment screw unter the throttle plate. only takes a turn ot two to make it that high.

 

my normal idle speed is around 400 rpms in my 5spd......is that kinda low???

 

yeah sounds a little low....if you want to waste alot of gas you can raise it to 2000

 

my idle kinda pulses when I start the car for a second, then evens out about 800. Does this happen to anyone else?

 

before you move an idle adjustment screw try cleaning air filter, throttle body, and carbon deposits

 

hey my car is doing the same thing. when i start it the idle is low then i let it warm up a bit and it evens out WTF!!!!!

 

im gonna go make my idle 3800 RPM so i can VTEC all the time!

 

Would the brakes physically be able to stop the vehicle?

 

does your idle raise and drop or does it stay at a constant 400???

 

Man, I'm glad he has a 5sp... if you did that to a 3.0, the transmission would fall out when you put it in gear. The brakes would hold it, but you would feel the frame stretching...



Leave it around 800 at idle... WTF would you want to do that anyway.... it wouldn't sound cool... it wouldn't be cool. If your idleing at 400, you should just turn the idle set screw about 1/8th turn clockwise... that would prolly do it. My civic had a problem that was related to the seasons... naturaly aspirated carborator... when the weather got cold, had to turn it up... But I don't think you are suffering the same issue... iacv or maps sensor may be the issue. Ohm the parts if the idle set screw doesn't help you.

Good luck.

 

well the pointer stays just below the first short line on the speedo....so i guess that is the 400 mark....

in step 4 of that pic is exactly where my rpm is at...is it supposed to be there?

 

ok maybe 2000 is to much, I wanted to raise it because it idles so low that it wants to stall.

 

then you have a problem somewhere.. maybee a vaccum leak or you just need a tune up.

who was that response for?? me?

 

naw man redx..
