I read other threads about similar problems, dealing w/ the FIV, Low coolant, IACV and EGR problems but mine is still got me puzzled. I have a 92 ex auto and when I start it, it revvs up like 2500rpm and when it goes to fall back to idle its like it falls too far and trys to stall. it gets as low as 325rpm (i had a digital meter on it to see how low). only falls that low for a few seconds then idles lil rough but about 750rpm.
Next when I go to go into reverse to back out, it shakes terribly until I get above 1500rpm. me driving in reverse down my road to figure out where it cleaned up kinda freaked out my passing neighbor. w/ my foot on the brake and in reverse, it will shake my glove box open (good bump will to the same, weak latch) shake CDs every where and make you wonder if it is running on only 3cyls. Only shakes THAT bad in reverse stopped or moving very slow. Sitting at a light in drive, its rough that u can see my tilt wheel moving vertical shaking but no changes in rpm you can notice on the tach in either situation.
I was told by a 20yr Honda Mech who was doing my work that this is very normal for aging f22 accords and wasnt worth the sensors to fix??? I believed it for over a year til I started getting into Hondas more than stereos, apc intakes and way too loud mufflers.
Now my mileage isnt the greatest. I average around 17 to 20mpg city and lil highway (10miles to the next town on the 4 way). and all highway like on a trip, best has been 28mpg. Use to be like 25mpg lil mixed and 34mpg all highway and has been slowly going down since gas prices been going up.
Does throw a egr code maybe 3 times a month, started in like sept 05 again, but resets w/ restarting.
new egr when i got the car in nov 03 and cleaned channels bc had egr code 24/7.
recleaned egr channels and new "black box" on firewall w/ vaccum lines in summer of 04 bc egr code again.
jan 05 new honda oem cap, rotor, bosch plug wires and ngk plugs after being yelled at by mech for putting the bosch plat 4 and wires myself bc of poor idle.
no help. still no help in Mar 06. very minor coolant leak at top left radiator, only 1/4in from top. cleaned my IACV, temp-replaced my IACV w/ good one off a junkyard motor I heard run, new IACV seal, played w/ FIV, looked at EGR (clean), no air around TB.
Sorry for the long thread, wanted to cover everything I could.
