Low idle problems

[Md426]

When I come to a stop light my idle rpm's are really low 600-700rpm and it rattles my interior and steering wheel. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?

do you have an auto or 5 speed?
turn your ac off if its on. and if its a automatic you should get tranny fluid or check your torque converter

low idle

check your IAC valve (idle air controle valve) it might be bad

Try cleaning IAC Valve. Let us know how it works out. I have a bad EGR that makes car shake at idle.

Here is link to clean IAC http://www.honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=1575913

Cleaned the IACV and it idles 100rpm lower, it does shake less to where the interior isn't rattling but the steering column still vibrates some. I put sea foam in the gas and oil to see if it will clear it out some more. Any other ideas?

Getting the IAC out was a bitch, had to take off all the vacuum lines behind the intake manifold and there was still not very much room. If anyone else it trying to take theirs off then I would suggest waiting for warm weather because the coolant lines were hard and seemed like it was about to tear, long needle nose pliers is a must have also.

Clean EGR. Replace gas filter and pcv valve. After I replaced pcv I had much better acceleration.

Any preference to a certain PCV valve? Im going to Advanced Auto in a few mins.

I'm sure there might be, but I have no clue. I would think they all do pretty much the same thing and its a really cheap part.

Im going to pick one up. Do you have an engine bay pic of where the EGR valve is?

 

[Md426]

Found the ERG and cleaned it, still low idle and seemed to have gotten worse. I was looking for the PCV valve for awhile because Advanced Auto Parts gave me the wrong PCV valve. To clarify it's the 90* elbow between the 1st and 2nd port on the Intake Manifold right? It just plugs in, rather than screw in?

AAP gave me an inline screw-in PCV....

I checked my transmission fluid level cold and it was above the two holes, is that bad? Seems like it would be over filled and causing a problem.

Have you tried adjusting the idle screw?

Also, probably a long shot, but worth a try..check electrical connections? Such as alternator or grounds?

Where is the idle screw? It's fuel injected not carburetor.

I guess there is an adjustment screw on the IACV huh?
