HAVE THIS PROBLEM BEFORE I HAD THE TIMING BELT/WATER PUMP CHANGED. BEFORE I HAD THE TIMING BELT CHANGED, I REPLACED THE COOLANT TEMP SENSOR, THERMOSTAT FROM THE DEALER. THE FANS ARE WORKING BUT HAVEN’T CHANGE THE RADIATOR. BEFORE THE OVERHEATING PROBLEM BY MY SISTER, THE TEMP GAUGE IS USUALLY BELOW THE HALF MARK (AROUND 3/8) ALWAYS. AFTER, IT’T AT HALF AND WHEN DRIVEN OVER 15 MILES+ THE TEMP GAUGE GOES UP THEN DOWN THEN UP AGAIN. TURN MY HEATER ON TO HELP DESIPATE THE HEAT AND GOES DOWN BUT ABOVE HALF. HAVE NOT REPLACE THE RADIATOR YET. MY FRIEND (USE TO WORK WITH HONDA DEALERSHIP) WAS INSTRUCTING TO DO LIKE: REPLACE THE THERMOSTAT, TEMP SENSOR, BLEED THE COOLANT, CHECK THE FANS IF WORKING, ETC. TOLD ME THAT I MIGHT HAVE A CYLINDER HEAD PROBLEM. TRYING TO GET OTHER IDEAS FROM THIS FORUM BEFORE I DECIDE TO HAVE MY CYLINDER HEAD FIX. THANKS!
I’VE WATCH THE VIDEO. CLEANED THE IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE WITH THE THROTTLE BODY CLEANER UNTIL 99% OF THE CARBON ARE REMOVED. BLEW COMPRESSED AIR FROM MY AIR COMPRESSOR UNTIL DRY. CHECKED THE FAST IDLE VALVE AND IT WAS ALL THE WAY DOWN. CHECKED FOR ANY LOOSE HOSES AND EVERYTHING CHECK OUT. THE ONLY THING I NOTICE IS WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD, EVERYTHING IS FINE UNTIL IT WARMED UP AND THE IDLE STARTS TO GO UP AND DOWN UNTIL THE ENGINE STALLS. TAPPING ON THE IACV DURING ERRATIC IDLE DID NOT DO A THING. THE ENGINE STILL STALLS. WAITED FOR HALF AN HOUR AND TRIED TO START THE ENGINE WITH THE SAME RESULT.
CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY 2 DAYS AGO WITH “CRC THROTTLE BODY & AIR-INTAKE CLEANER”. OPENED THE VALVE AND SPRAYED THE CLEANER AND WIPED IT WITH A CLEAN CLOTHE. STARTED THE ENGINE AND WAS OK. DID NOT USE THE CAR AFTER CLEANING THE THROTTLE BODY. STARTED THE CAR TODAY (2 DAYS AFTER CLEANING) AND AFTER LESS THAN A MILE THE CAR’S IDLE STARTS TO ACT UP (GOES UP & DOWN) UNTIL THE CAR STALLS. TOOK SEVERAL MINUTES TO RESTART THE CAR AGAIN WITHOUT THE CAR STALLING. WAS ABLE TO GO BACK HOME UNTIL THE PROBLEM STARTS AGAIN. HAVE A HARD TIME STARTING THE CAR AGAIN. SOMETIMES A WHITE SMOKE COMES OUT OF MY HIGH FLOW AIR FILTER. I KNOW THIS WAS THE CAUSE OF MY THROTTLE CLEANING. THE CAR RUNS GOOD BEFORE I CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY. DON’T HAVE ANY IDEA HOW TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. DON’T WANT TO DO ANYTHING THAT WILL MAKE IT WORST.
TIMING BELT WAS CHANGED AT 400,000. CHANGED THE ROTOR, SPARK PLUGS & WIRES LAST YEAR. HAVE TWO HIGH FLOW AIR INTAKE THAT I INTERCHANGE AND CLEAN. THE CAR RUNS GOOD! THE ONLY PROBLEM IS SOMETIMES THE RPM BECOMES ERRATIC AND AFTER I PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL FOR FEW SECONDS EVERYTHING IS FINE. JUST PUT IN BG44K TO CLEAN THE INJECTORS. THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERYDAY. PROBABLY ONCE OR TWICE A MONTH. THINKING OF CLEANING THE THROTTLE BODY AND ANY ASSOCIATED PARTS.
