    Default 1985 Accord Idle problem

    Alright, I bought an Accord not long ago from a good friend of mine. Car is running good and hasn't gave me any real "BIG" problems. But to my point, when the car hasn't been ran for awhile it doesn't seem to want to idle but after a few minutes of driving it will idle, just kind of high. Around 1800-to-2000rpm. Everytime you let it idle, it stays around that area. We sprayed some brake cleaner around the carb and it idle'd alittle higher. So that gave us the impression that maybe the carb gasket was worn out. I'm going to replace that anyways just because the car sat for awhile before my buddy bought it. So with that out the way, I would like to know of some more things it could be.




    Question #1: What is another reason it will simply not idle when cold?

    Question #2: What is another reason it idle's so high when it will idle?

    Question #3: Where can I get a chart/Diagram of all the Vacumn lines and where they're suppose to be? (I'm thinking a few vacumn lines may be in the wrong spots.)


    I would greatly apperciate any help you fellow IA'ers could give me. I will reward those who give some "GOOD" inputs with +12 rep. -Thanks, Tyler.


    Update: I did infact find 2 vacumn leaks and fixed them. Now it idle's around 1200-to-1500rpm. So, I'm guessing I still have plenty more.

    Now, I have a new question.... I plan to ask on that 2geez.com or whatever but.... Everytime I shift it idle's up like an extra 300rpm. WTF is with that??
