my 92 teg stalls when warm

[treybombRW]

Hey i'm new to club integra and bought a 1992 integra and i've been restoring it since, recently i had my car stall. i was driving on the highway and all was good, i got to my destination and when i went to leave... my car started then stalled immediately after. i had to give it gas to keep it running and quickly shift to drive or reverse before the rpms dropped to 0. I changed my wires,plugs, valve cover gaskets, distributor cap, fuel filter, cleaned the throttle body, changed the main fuel relay from the P.O.S. rz0067 to the new and updated rz0063. and it still stalls when its warm but only when i try to start it up. it is getting fuel pressure because i tested it when i changed the fuel filter, i don't think its electrical unless its my battery, distributor, or thermostat or ground wires. if anyone has any feedback that would be great. thanks

Rotor?

base idle speed man , try adjusting it, also iac valve or vac leak

^^check what he said, I posted that in the wrong spot

i thought about cleaning the iacv... so i'll check it along with the fast idle valve. and i don't think there's a vac leak i've looked everywhere for one. i'll change the rotor as well just incase. i hope it works (fingers crossed)

could it be a bad o2 sensor?

 

[hgocasca]

That wouldn't kill it, I drove a civic without one for two months, I doubt highly that it would/could do that

ok so i changed the rotor which helped make my car start with ease... and cleaned the IACV and FITV, and it still idle's low when warm and the idle still drops low and sounds like its gonna conk out. how do i adjust the base idle speed... if anyone knows where i can find a good write up on this ... u'd make my day, and make my teg much happier too. here's a vid of the car also lemme know what u think. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4UhQHn6-QY

its a work in progress...

turns out my base idle is 700 and its allways been 700 since i bought the car. still can't figure out why is wants to stall sometimes..... any ideas would be great.

It's an old car, mine does that once in awhile, what fuel are u running?

 

[treybombRW]

its a 92 ls and the manual says it runs on 87... i used to run 87 with an octane booster but it gave my spark plugs (high speed gloss) an orange gloss on them so i stopped using it. i adjusted my base idle to 750 because... after i cleaned my iacv it was at 500.... and it seems to have stopped the stalling even when the motor is really hot..... i think once i get my cold air intake installed in the spring, it'll run a little cooler and possibly help prevent my car from stalling.

I run 91 shell, that'll help a little with smoothness, change your thermostat if you want it to run cooler, run some BG44K thru there, it'll clean everything, I mean everything, its a fuel additive, run it once every oil change, and you might do a sea foam run just for kicks, what's your mileage at?

 

[treybombRW]

sadly 249,820... but i plan on throwing a b17a1 in there in at 350ks...and a ys1 tranny to match i used STP fuel additives for a while but i'll try the bg44k stuff, where can i but it?
