93 Accord - STOCK 100k miles Engine light, and I gotta code 43. That was last month, no performance loss until a few days ago. Start it cold, and when it gets at idle it starts to BOG to the point of almost stalling, but then it picks back up again to normal. It then 'loops' as it gets warmer. Regardless, I still took it for a spin, and the BOG makes it lose power, immensely. This is a pattern, and it tells me that it has something to do with HEAT, therefore, it's mechanical. . . I think(?) I have a new fuel filter I'm getting ready to install while using the video you also provided, but I don't think that's the problem. Reason being, again, the symptoms are a pattern and a filter has no moving parts. I await your reply. Btw, great video on the filter replacement. Best one on the net! Thanx😎
@CB7Media3 жыл бұрын
A code 43 is normally a bad 02 sensor or a bad cat possibly. as far As the loping is concerned whenever it gets too temperature is probably your idle air control valve you can block off the secondary one on the side it's not needed. but the main fast idle valve Needs to be adjusted I am sure. All so make sure your coolant level is okay and there's no air in the system. If none of those things work then start checking your vacuum lines for something being disconnected or dry rooted hope this helps thanks for watching and being a subscriber please check out my cb7 media page on Facebook

@@CB7Media Yeah, I already adjusted the Idle diaphragm, and I got about a 1.5 turn out of it. Quite a bit! That wasn't the prob though. Am I correct when I say that if there's air in the coolant it could be hindering a mechanical part that works off of HEAT? The gasket for the EGR was cracked on one side when I removed the part. No resistance at all. Mof, I didn't even know that the cracked corner was left behind until I looked at it. Could be a leak -- it was located by one of the studs. There's a hissing I noticed before I started this. I'm hoping that's what it was. This is a very CLEAN car, like NEW. Kept in a garage for 9ber 15 years. Btw, those nuts are going to be quite difficult to start on the studs of the EGR. How did you do it? I'm going to try the 'leaf' trick on the socket, and pray.

Hello, my accord just failed smog for high HO and CO emissions. Do you think the EGR has anything to do with this? the accord had trouble picking up speed from stop signs and red lights. I would have to really step on gas for it to really pick up speed.
@CB7Media4 жыл бұрын
I would recommend cleaning the EGR the throttle body run some sea foam in your intake check your spark plugs check your air filter replace your fuel filter and check your Catalytic converter there's a good chance it could be clogged up but I would start with every thing first and go down the line and see what Improves power for you and not passing inspection could be your Catalytic converter i but i would start with cleaning everything else up first
@Amerikanskis4 жыл бұрын
I'm about to do this and use some seafoam in the gas tank+marvel mystery oil in the intake(its good for intakes and cheaper than seafoam). You can buy those little jugs with a pump and a hose that people use to spray weeds in the garden and fill it with marvel mystery oil and spray the intake while it's running. hopefully it works for me.
@CB7Media4 жыл бұрын
Sea foam is okay. i run marvel in my gas tank and it works better i think then the sea foam.and yes you can use the sprayers and clean out your intake just don't run it down the intake hose like you would sea foam its hard on it that way but spraying it in on the throttle body is perfect

Using something like a bolt extractor would be your best option you can also get 12 point sockets that sometimes will help take out rounded bolts and in some cases you can go down one size smaller and hammer it down on top of the bolt and it will help take out the bolt 🔩 I hope this helps

I have a 1990 Honda Accord lx and when it gets to 45 mph it cuts out big time and looses power. It won’t go over 50 mpg. It gave me code 43 and 12 and I tapped on the lift valve and changed the fuel filter and now it’s at code 43 only. The previous owner did the head gasket and timing belt. Do u have any suggestions? Maybe catalytic converter?
@CB7Media3 жыл бұрын
Code 43 is for the fuel system. if you have a way to check the fule pressure I would do that it sounds like the pump its getting week or your fule pump relay is going bad I don't believe the catalytic converter would be the problem in this situation unless you have a code for the 02 sensor but it sounds like you don't so I would not worry about it unless you want to upgrade your Exhaust if you have a code 41 then that would be your 02 sensor.

Disabling IAC w Solenoid has bypassed this problem,,, I have videos, of idle speed with IAC plugged in (Surging ), and w/o plugging it in (no Surging,..),... The following were changed bef I had this problem Spark Plugs, Wires, Alternator, Starter, Belts,... Fuel Tank, Fuel Pump, some Fuel & oil Lines,.. Radiator, Condenser, Hoses, Rad Cap,.. Timing Belt & Water Pump, Tensioners Oil Pan & Gasket, Car was parked for few yrs during Covid, but before that, the Car used to drive really well, high speed was smooth, 100-120-140++ kph easy,.. smooth, quiet, normal Idle,... altho Fuel Tank & Rad had started to leak, rusting, so had bought another car, and parked this one,.. Three (3) diff experienced Mechanics have played with IAC, and have changed both IAC valves (one w Solenoid was changed 2x!), and Fast idle Control Valve, but no luck. Currently, and even before these repairs, with IAC UNPLUGGED, car feels it has enough power, and has v good acceleration for a 23 yr old car, No sputtering ! (==> so NO vacuum leak?) & (NO defective Airflow sensor?),... I have seen videos of surging problems on KZbin,.. and if anyone has any more suggestions,.. Thnx Az_99
