Sup

I searched this topic and came up with a reply from texas honda.

Has anyone else encountered this problem if so how may i resolve it.

My mechanic said its like a 250 dollar job and i want to save it if i can do it myself

Peace

 

no one huh

 

If idle speed drops perhaps 150-200 rpm when AC turns on, the idle air control valve (IACV) is likely stuck closed or faulty. IACV should open more frequently (commanded by ECU) to compensate for AC compressor load andhold idle speed unchanged.

good luck

 

My sisters Sentra used to do this. It was a dirty spark plug or something like that if i remember correctly

 

so uh Texas.....can i do this?

 

I had the same problem, it was the A/C fan striking the radiator, Ijust replaced the fan motor and it was done

 

I don't think that what it is.

 

You have to know how to turn a ratchet and some mechanical experience is desirable. It's not difficult, but access is somewhat restricted. Following is a summary. Get an Acura shop manual or download a 94-97 Accord manual (hondahookup.com).

1) Remove air intake for access.
2) Release IACV from throttle body. Requires disconnection of two coolant lines or you can release the component attached to coolant line connecting from the IACV to provide enough "slack" to access the IACV.
3) Clean the screen and flush the valve movement several times w/ throttle body cleaner until flush runs clean.
4) Clean around throttle plate and throttle body bore w/ throttle body cleaner and old toothbrush. Particularly the back side of the throttle plate.

good luck

 

Hey My Main Man TexasHonda

Thanks for replying. I just went back to researching it because she started to shake even more. You always seem to pop out in the nick of time. I will go ahead and check the manual thanks for the Knowledge. Peace

Oh yeah. Some one had mentioned it might be the o2 sensor

 

Hey, I'm having the same problem with my 97 2.2. Did you figure out what seems to fix it? Mine shakes the entire instrument cluster badly when the A/C is on. I have put new engine mounts in, but still shakes bad at idle, which is around 650 rpm? I do notice it some still with the A/C off, but def worse with it on.

 

Try cleaning out the Iacv which you have to take apart the OEM intake that is attached to the throttle body get some carb cleaners and spray that the hell out of it.

If thats doesn;t work when was the last time you replaced your spark plugs? Also your distributor?
