Manual says non adjustable. Why do you think you need to adjust it?

sorry i posted to the wrong thread.

I was thinking i could bump it up a 100rpm or so to make up for the loss in electrical power from the ur crank pulley install.

There is adjustment! Service manual page 11-169 and 11-203. Its the idle adjusting screw of the Idle Air Control Valve. I've been meaning to adjust it but when i removed the engine cover and try to turn the screw i noticed that it was slightly coated with a thin layer of rubber.

When i saw that I stopped. By turn the adjusting screw u will remove the rubber coating. My guess was that it was Honda's way of proving that you tinkered with it and void the manufacturer's warranty for that part. Which i may have to replace soon since I get rough idling but on very rare ocasions. Or it could just be me being paranoid.

Anyways, if you come about to tinkering with it, let me know wat direction and how much you have to turn to lower or increase the rpm.
