ive had a sdimilar experiance with SWMBO's Old Rover they riip you off good & propper btw i emailed my friend mark so am awaiting his response he should get back to me by COP 8pm

nice 1 :y
it got to be some sort of air/fuel flow sensor
or something to do with the auto choke

when its warm the revs go really low close to cutting out
but it don't do it all the time
when it does do it it can be a pain to start

Well its probably a D8 or D9 era engine.

So 16V EFi without VTEC.....and certainly no choke!

It could be one of about 6 different engines!

Al very revvy with little low down torque which is acceptable in something as light as a Civic (about 1200Kg). Not to hot on the safety as a result though.

Basically its a Hondaised Rover 400

Hiya,

Sounds like the idle control valve to me. He should have a service connector in the passenger foot well. Stick a paperclip in it and it'll flash the engine light. It'll be like say, 3 long flashes and 3 short flashes is code 33. Google honda ecu codes and it'll tell you whats wrong. The idle control valve has a code of its own so you'll know if its that. If it is that, a bit of carb cleaner will possibly fix it. Otherwise, you'll have to find another civic coupe with one. One off another honda civic wont go, unless its a d16y7 engine too, which is unlikely as I think only the civic coupe got the d16y7.

btw he says you have the D16Y7 so its a D Series lump

thats what my mate has said seems like the miggys paper trick works

i'm starting to think the exhaust is blocked
it don't sound very good at the back of the car when its reved
might try changing the exhaust first and see what happens and take it from there
it needs a new exhaust so can't go wrong really

ive taken the idle control vale off the civic
and what a wierd design

it has a water feed that runs in to and out of the valve

and ive had a look and it is black as anything
and where it bolts on to the carb all inside there is gacked up with crap

so it looks like the problem is there
i will be getting some carb clean tomorrow and giving it a good cleaning and then try again and see how that gets on
but for how gacked up it was i'd say when its cleaned out it will run perfect :y




i hope :-/
