When u guiz stop at a red light or just sitting wit ur car on, what do you consider normal idle RPM?.. At stop mine is 600rpm sometimes 700rpm no A/C on.. is that normal? HIT ME UP..THX

mine usually rests at 700 - 800 rpm, your idle must be low, or mine must be too high...lol.

The reason im asking is becuse im ivestigating a probblem that i might be having...it was posted already but nobody seems to talk about it anymore something about reprograming the ECM/PCM..when i stop the idle goes so low it feels like its going to shut off this is not all the time though. I went to the dealer and told them about the problem and they told me they were aware that its common on 01 and 02's so i made an appointment to reprogram the ECM/PCM..On the appointment day the car was rejected and the work was not done because they said my car is a show car its not under warranty. I told the stupid BI#CH that i understood that but, if its a common problem on these cars they should fix it any dam way because the car came with that bug from the factory. I even told her "these cars should have been recalled" all she kept saying is "ITS NOT UNDER WARRANTY" so my car was not fixed but i will talk to my friend at the honda dealer tomorrow and tell him about this to see whats gonna happen. He is a manager at the honda dealer. But in any case even if u hook up ur car to the max and something like this is a problem it should be covered under warranty WHY? Because you bought a broken car..dony u think??? give me some imput please
THX again

you can reset the injectors and the idling by disconnecting your battery for about 10 minutes for all the memory to fade. plug the battery back in and let if idle with EVERYTHING turned off for about 10 minutes. shut the car off and then turn it back on and start driving in a series of different types of driving. this is explained in the manual. if you dont do this, there is a possibility that the car will have an, and i quote, "adrupt idle."

i just restart the ecu. turn off the car, go to the fuse box take out the ecu/ecm fuse, wait 1 minute and then put it back again, turn the car back on again and its like refreshing the whole comp system, go alot more pickup than before the refresh. and it went back to 750-800 idle.

essentially that does that same as disconnecting the battery...

I AM AN ADVISOR AT A HONDA DELAERSHIP AND I WILL SEARCH TO DATA BASE FOR SOME INFO FOR YOU. I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH HONDAS FOR 2 YEARS NOW AND NOTHING HAS EVER COME TO MY ATTENTION ON THIS. WE HAVE HAD TO REPROGRAM SOME CR-V'S AND PASSPORT'S DUE TO IDLE AND CEL'S BUT NOT CIVICS---I WILL CHECK.

THERE IS A BULLETIN ABOUT 01-02 CIVIC, #02-083
IT DOES PERTAIN TO REPROGRAMMING THE ECM DUE TO LOW RESPONSE TIMES FROM IAC VALVE AND TIMING. AS LONG AS YOU HAVEN'T MODIFIED THE ENGINE, INTAKE OR EMISSION SYSTEMS THEY SHOULD PERFORM THAT FOR YOU. ASK TO SPEAK WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER OR EVEN SET UP AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DISTRICT HONDA REP TO PLEAD YOUR CASE. IT DOES NOT APPEAR DOING THE IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE WILL HELP IN THIS MATTER.
