Why does my Honda Accord rev up and down?

Why does my Honda Accord rev up and down?

Re: Idle revs up and down The most likely issue is a vacuum leak, use carb cleaner, spray around the manifold to engine gasket, injectors, plenum gasket, throttle body gasket, MAP and IACV gasket (don’t spray the TPS). Check that all the vacuum lines are plugged in properly.

What causes a Honda to idle up and down?

If your idling fluctuates up and down during operating temp, then it is most likely the IACV. The engine idle speed will race up and down on a Honda if the coolant level is low or air is trapped in the cooling system, I suspect that is all that is wrong if the idle speed was OK prior to the radiator was replaced.

Why does my car keep revving up and down?

The idle is controlled by the idle air control valve and if it cannot keep the engine idling it will keep trying to rev the engine up to compensate. A vacuum leak, sensor that has failed, or an EGR system malfunction could potentially be the cause of the erratic engine you’re experiencing.

Why does my Honda surge?

Honda uses most of those same components to determine idle in their vehicle. However, they use a fast idle valve that has engine coolant running through it. The fast idle valve has a reasonably high failure rate. When the valve fails, it causes idle surge.

Why is my Honda idling high?

Malfunctioning Throttle: A malfunctioning throttle system can cause both a high or low idle as well as an engine stall. A dirty air intake or cracked air intake tube is often the culprit. Computer Malfunction: If the powertrain control module is malfunctioning, idle speed may be affected.

How do I adjust my Honda idle?

Re: How do I adjust my idle rpm? ( disconnect the iacv plug, it should idle at 450 rpm with iacv unplugged. if not, adjust the idle screw on top of your throttle body until it gets to 450. reconnect the iacv and reset your ecu. voila, 750 rpm idle.

What if my car idles high?

When your car’s throttle is malfunctioning, this can cause your car to stall or idle high. Often this is a result of dirt buildup in the air intake. Other times it can be a problem with a cracked intake tube. If the IAC motor’s vacuum port is leaking, this can be another cause of high engine idling.

What causes engine to rev high while driving?

In automatic vehicles, transmission fluid is used to carry power from the engine to the transmission. It is also used to lubricate the various parts of your transmission system. If the transmission fluid begins to leak, your car will start to rev to higher levels (due to torque converter or gearbox band slippage).
