Lol, ummm.... let me rephrase the question. In order to adjust idle RPM, you need a tachometer. Because Honda loves us so much, they decided to not equip the DX with a dashboard tach. And even if they did, I've read that it's more accurate to hook up a tach to the engine. I don't know, I have no experienec with this.

But I don't want to buy a tach.

They aren't overly expensive, to my knowledge. I don't know of anywhere you would be able to rent one from.

Most places like O'Reilly's or Autozone will rent out most any specific tool you could need, and would probably have one.

It it's not something you think you'll use more than once, they'll probably loan one to you. The one by me loans tools for free, there's just a marginal refundable deposit.

Thanks you. I will call around. Yes, I will use it once and that's it.

i dunno if youknow or not, but there's a blue wire up under the hood, behind the battery, and thats the tach wire, for testing purposes.
