2 problems

[That1guyN8]

ok so i have 2 problems and i would like people's opinions on

A) whenever i start my car, the thing idles at 1800 (i feel this is too high). It will do this even after my car is warmed up.<what i mean is: lets say my car is warmed up and i turned it off- 20mins later i can restart it and it still idles high.............some1 told me that hondas have cold starting cams?-i have no clue whether thats true or not.

B) my buddy just got done a new motor swap on his old tranny- the problem is he can't go above 3500rpm- what do you think the problem most likely is?

THANKS

A) adjust the idle screw see if that works

B) maybe a tranny computer problem

Eacv - the idle valve that is controlled by engine coolant temperature, that would be my first guess

id check the tention on the accelerator cable, if its too tight then its raising the idle...it should deflect about a few mm..or kinda tight, but it shouldnt pull the throttle plate pulley.

1. maybe u gotta open the top of the Fast Idle valve and tighten up the plastic valve seat inside. or like previously mentioned my other members -- check the throttle linkage to see if it is too tight. check the idle adjustment screw. check your radiator fluid or coolant level (may have an effect on the Idle Air Control Valve and the Fast Idle Thermo valve). is there a CheckEngine light on?

2. does your friend have a CheckEngine light on? ECU could be in "limp" mode. also, have him check his plugs to see if all are burning well and check the gap on his plugs.
