Rough Idle on 88 Accord
I have an 88 Accord LX (carburetor) with roughly 183,000 miles on it.
I recently gave it a tune-up, including replacing the spark plugs and wires, distributor and rotor, air cleaner, BOTH fuel filters, and the PCV valve. It starts up just fine, and then after it warms up, when i come to a stop light or something, the idle goes down to about 500 RPM's or so and the car shakes a lot. The gas mileage has gotten to be really bad too. I don't know what could be causing it. I've checked most of the vacuum lines with a hand pump (haven't sprayed anything on all of them though to see if the idle goes up). I've heard that it might be anything from the carburetor to the cat. converter. I just want to get the dang thing fixed. PLEASE HELP!!! P.S. - After thought. After I have been driving it for a while and park it to go into the store or something, when I come back out, it is most of the time harder to start than when cold and sometimes wont even start at all. That's why I have been told that maybe it is the cat. converter blocking up the system. I don't know. |

Rough Idle on 88 Accord
If it happens only after you changed the parts then you might have
bumped something inthe process. Recheck your work. Also, are you using the correct parts? etc etc On Jan 11, 8:57*pm, foofightersfan7710 > wrote: > I have an 88 Accord LX (carburetor) with roughly 183,000 miles on it. > I recently gave it a tune-up, including replacing the spark plugs and > wires, distributor and rotor, air cleaner, BOTH fuel filters, and the > PCV valve.
