Guys

Problem solved and follow up with the car

Thanks alot for your input and suggestions. I took the car to the mechanic. Here is how I made out
he found the following

1. bad fuel pump
2. cracked fuel pump gasket
3. A PVC valve that wouldn’t close <<< the cause of the high idle
4. he said the thermostat should be 188higher.

I hope this helps someone else

thanks

[quote=”Raistian77″ post=76695]In a healthy engine short and long term fuel trims should be about 5% plus or minus.

This is a bit in depth, but a great introduction to understanding fuel trims.

[quote=”Raistian77″ post=76571][quote=”ThatGuy” post=76570]the other thing I need a better manual than the Haynes repair book.

I need a Factory service Manual with Great electrical diagrams.

One option is Alldata’s DIY option. $25.00 gets you access to one vehicle for a year.

You really need a scanner that has datastream. Find out what your fuel trims are for idle, 1000,1500,2000 RPM both short term and long term. If your numbers are positive (especially at idle) over about 10% you most likely have an air leak or a MAF sensor issue.[/quote]

Ok Thanks. I do need a good spec sheet and diagrams to diagnose the problem. I do have a scan tool, but I don’t what the norm values are for this vehicle

thank you

Quoted From EricTheCarGuy:

You might try one of these because they work pretty good.

thanks, I will look into those

Quoted From EricTheCarGuy:

I don’t remember if those were snap-on or Mac, I think they were Mac. If I remember next time I’m at the shop I’ll get the number off of them.

Thanks that would be great!!! I need a pair that I can get a better grip on the friction hose clamps !!

Thanks Guys for Suggestions,

This vehicle is my primary ride. I am not experienced in dropping a sub-frame, and now I am thinking maybe this task is over my skill set. When I get a chance maybe this weekend I will put it on my friend’s lift and see if I can verify the problem. If I can’t I will take it back to Honda and see how they determined it was bad.

Thanks for the advice…

That Guy
