Rep Power: 0 Idle Problem Mystery Maybe Solved
Well i was looking at my intire electrical grid for the car figuring out where it could be losing spark or jumping. Well checked the battery connections and they were fine. I checked the sparks and they were fine. But before i put the HONDA cover back over the sparks i noticed a 3 little rectangles, they are located next to where the spark plugs hook into. I looked on the backside of the honda cover and there were 2 little holes that were indented in that look like they were burned into the cover. Come to find out that after a while those plugs that sit next to the plugs get so hot that they have a hair line crack in them just enough for the spark to jump and that is what is causing the low voltage during idleing. For a quick fix i just used some rubber over the rectangle thing to try and keep the spark from jumping. I dont know if all you are expierencing the bad idle problem but if you are check under neith the cover and see if there are any holes that seem to be burnt into the cover and that may be your problem..

Rep Power: 0 hmm i replaced my plugs but it wasnt the problem it was that other plug in that is making the spark jump out of the engine. i am not totally sure that this is the total problem but i am sure it is part of it.
