$600 3rd Gen Prelude Ep. 12 - How to Repair a Bouncing Idle on a Honda

[@bobthompson4319]

Next time if you want to check for vacuum leaks take off the air filter hose and plug the 2 holes in the throttle body with your fingers it will suck hard and die if there are no leaks. If it is leaking you can use throttle body cleaner to spray around all the places that could be leaking and if you spray somewhere and it revs up then its probably leaking from that spot. Iv done these things before I know they work.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

I did that like 10 times. It didn't work like I hoped.

[@HexBMX]

Out of the dozens of Hondas I've owned, I've had a 91 Prelude Si and an 88 Si 4WS....Loved both of those cars. The 88's body was getting pretty shot due to the previous owner not washing it and living in the salt belt...but damn, that car was bulletproof regardless of what it looked like. Wish I still had it. I still own five pre-2000 Hondas, though. Can't complain .

[@arios1977]

This actually helped me. Turned out one of the vacuum ports on the intake manifold lost a cap. Just put on some electrical tape to cover it for the time being until I can get to the parts store.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!

[@cavanblack]

When I was in Highschool I had just bought my prelude. Getting out of the backed up garage generated a lot of stares while my car ‘vMMMMMbrmmm-vMMMMMbrmmm-vMMMMbrmmm’d’. Took a look at this video and I never pulled out of that garage more confidently.

[@stealthcoop747]

I tried everything it ended up being the Fast idle Thermo valve it was letting too much air flow that caused it to surge only on park so it is important buddy I'm here in California and i also had a clogged coolant line form the fast idle Thermo valve to the IACV... deleting that valve gave me a low idle the car kept stalling on cold starts so I had to keep starting the car with the throttle fully open to keep it from stalling, once warm it idles normal so it does need the FITV. You are right on the IACV you don't need the coolant lines it's for freezing climate the problem with deleting that iacv line is that you have to reroute the coolant line that feeds the thermostat underneath the intake to the FITV. But you video was helpful but big mistake in deleting the FITV on the B20z4

[@rayc5168]

I lucked out and bought a second hand IAC and it fixed my bounching idle. thanks for the video.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Glad it helped!

[@Truthguy73]

Thanks man! You gave me some new things to look for. I already did 2 IAC valves 1 o2 sensor checked for cracks (not gaskets yet) and taken my CRV to 3 mechanics. This is getting expensive!

[@darthraider4083]

Ive been on this surge for a yr now, replaced everything you mentioned from hoses to all sensors and gaskets still have an idle surge. It idles great from start to warm, I drive it around 20 min and soon as I pull up to a stop and hit the breaks it surges. If Im at a stand still it will idle great unless I pump the breaks then it begins to surge till I shut the car off. Ive replaced the break booster,master cylinder check valve and still a surge, my whole engine is pretty much new so yep as you said Im stuck going wtf is going on lol D15B non vtec, Ive done everything Eric the car guy said as well and nothing. The only thing Im not sure about is my timing maybe its off

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Get the timing checked then. Or start you car cold, let it idle for 20 minutes without touching the brakes and see if it surges. If it does, than I think you can rule out anything with the brake booster. Good luck and keep us posted.

[@darthraider4083]

@@ExtremeDailyDrivers Right on Ill check the timing for sure, but no it doesnt surge unless I pump the break after its at temp.. If it comes to temp its fine, only does it when pumping the breaks once its hot.. At cold I can pump the breaks all day and nothing happens, till the engines hot.. Thanks appreciate it

Hey bro I know it’s been a minute but I have a question about it, was it happening only when cold ? I have the exact same surge, but once the car reaches operating tempature it stops I’m wondering if this is because the metal heats up and expands and seals the leak ? I replaced my intake gasket as well I’m wondering if I didn’t tighten it enough and it leaked

It could be anything, but probably not as complicated as you think. Follow the steps in the video and you will identify the problem. It's not witchcraft. Thanks for watching.

[@nervousordo]

My daughter ran through a puddle of water on the highway and then started getting the bouncing idle on her 1999 honda accord. I bled the coolant system by elevating the front end of the car, opening the radiator cap, starting the car and idling the car at 3,000 rpm (with the heater on high) until I see the radiator fluid moving. I then shut the car off, let cool, and add coolant to the overflow bottle. I also replaced the Idle Air Control Valve with an off brand off of Amazon. I still get codes P0505 (idle control system) and P1457 (Evap Canister Solenoid)

[@universetechnique]

I change my egr and clean my iac valve still had the same noise rep engine. Lastly I change spark plug and cap even rotor it stop the noise. All I need now is to drill and slide hammer that Six hole. Remove all the smoke carb built up over the years or rep engine gas. Need a hanger and vacuum to remove the carb muffler built up. Lastly cap the hole back up. No more idle issue especially if you got 156,000. Every prelude owner should do that by now. Every 50,000 miles a new change. Especially when you rep the rpm and the carb built up in the engine. Lastly all I will do now is brake carb clean tighten clockwise. The fast idle thermal valve and spray clean the inside. Make sure to turn every moving motor part with the brake carb. Everything should be fixed no more idling.

[@MikeKollin]

My surging idle only starts after it's warm! 95 Del Sol if that helps. And if I turn on the headlights it will stop! And if I unplug the IACV while running the car runs perfect! I was told that means it's the IACV. So I bought a new one off Ebay and it still does the same exact thing. ugh! I've checked for Vacuum leaks using Carb Spray while car is cold. Cant' find any. I replaced a few hoses. Especially the one coming from engine going back into intake just before throttle. I cleaned MAF Sensor and throttle body that helped with horse power and gas mileage for sure! Air filter is only 6 months old and it's clean. not sure if EBay sold me a bad IACV. Where can I buy one that will work and isn't to much? Thanks!

[@MikeKollin]

Mine only surges when warm. If there was a vacuum leak, wouldn't it surge while cold start as well??? I can let it idle for at least 6 minutes and it is perfect! No surging at all until it's really warm!

[@abdouallahuniverse5689]

Well mine i just replace the idle controle valve with new one, and i got that bouncing idle and then i put the olde one back and the idle gone back to normal, the old was just fine but since the car has more than two hundred tousand mile i start changing things in it to make sure the car never brook down, but the idlw comrol calce wasent easy ymto install, becasie it need proframming on the ECU.

When I replaced my AIC due to low RPM almost dying, it did worked, but started fluctuating, I checked if anything was loose but no. After this, I replaced SITV speed idle thermo valve. It did work.

20 odd years as a professional mechanic, building custom cars and race cars, then about 5 years teaching automotive diagnostics, there's three rules : 1. NEW means never been used. It DOES NOT MEAN "it's good." It only means nobody has ever installed it on a car. 2. It's not Okay until you have personally tested it and determined it is functioning properly. 3. If you don't understand what it does you really shouldn't "just delete it" because you have no clue what "deleting it" will cause in the way of unintended consequences.

hello, mine does it only as long as the engine gets warm. than it stays completely at 750rpm. Do you have any guess? Also what happens is that on the first start the car dosnt want to start. it cranks and cranks. Then when i try again to start the engine it starts immediately without almost any cranking. This happens only if the car stands for a night and is ice cold. What causes this? Also I got white smoke comijgnfrom the exhaust if i push the engine revs a little higher to lets say 4000-5000 rpm. These are my two biggest problems. The car is completely repainted and looks beautiful. Will make a video on it. Just have to fix these problems.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Automatic or manual?

[@ruqayyahsaafir6071]

@@ExtremeDailyDrivers I have a manual that does the same thing. It won't go over 3000rpm either

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Sounds like it's in limp mode or something. Is the check engine light on?

[@humbleyouth8016]

Man I have a 1993 Honda prelude in it ravva hight

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Yeah, it's a pretty common issue.

[@damo7131]

Surging idle. Another cause i read is the intake manifold cracked or bad gasket

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Yep. One of many possibilities.

[@Chimera6297]

why is my Miata doing Honda things

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

You are probably using the wrong oil. LOL

[@manuelsantacruz6046]

I see all your videos and I'm a big fan. I bought a 1991 Honda Prelude with the same B21A1 engine cause I wanted to get the same car as you and also because my first car was a 89 Prelude but single cam. I had a question for you hopefully you have the answer but I'm trying to find the specs on tightening the main bearings and connecting rods cause I'm rebuilding my engine. I'm hoping to also be a daily driver. I can send pictures of where I'm at right now maybe you can tip me on my process

[@tommy_bluewolf2865]
