I've been driving an automatic 1990 Honda Civic DX for 2 and a half years.
The Car has been great, but always idles really high before it is warmed
up.
Especially if not used for a couple of days.
I realized that it will idle higher than normal when cold, but this is
really high, and I have to keep my foot on the brake pedal or it will take
off on me until warmed up.
Through reading forums and and other internet sources I have reason to
believe it may be the Fast Idle Thermo Valve. I realize there are other
possibilities!
I have seen a write up on other forums with pictures, and they show how to
screw in some kind of plunger in said FITV.
The problem is that the pictures show an Integra engine bay, not a Honda
Civic.
Apparently the FITV loosens up over time.
I have the Haynes manual, and have looked under the hood for the FITV, but
cannot find the damn thing!
I am not a mechanic, and have only done basics like 02 sensor, Cap, rotor,
ignition coil and spark plugs, etc.
Does anyone have a link with a picture, or a diagram or description for
this
year(1990) Honda Civic in regards to the FITV?
Thanks.
