low idle, is that normal?

90-93 integra should have Idle set @ 750 RPM according to the Service Manual.

check for vacuum leaks & check timing. Sometimes people advance/retard the distributor and it drops the idle.

If mechanical timing checks out, adjust the throttle screw to bring the idle up where it should be.

Won't low coolant cause a fluctuating idle? just something to check.

not in a DA integra...

I had a small radiator leak when I had first bought my old DA. Idle never fluctuated...

Honestly I have never heard of this in any car unless it was overheating from the coolant being too low.

Air Intake Control Valve might be dirty, (they usually are after 20 years of sucking down air) or i had a bad fuel injector relay, that was causing a fluctuating idle. Once i fixed that my idle balanced out at about 800-900
