I'm a total newb, so I'll stick around for the real answer. In the meantime I'll think out loud.

My guess is it's fuel system related. What's the idle like and just what does it drive like after 60?

probably dizzy problem

 

[BLK92_D16]

Igniter or coil, which are inside the dizzy and easy to replace. While messing with it, replace the dizzy o-ring too!

 

[Arachnid]

^^^yeah, that's what i meant.....heheh

could be alot of things...is this a recent mini me? has it done this since the swap? have you checked your compression? How about the fuel pressure?

well i have not checked the compression! no the mini me is not recent i say about a year old it started doing this about two months ago it was running good a first. fuel pressure is good thanks for your helps guys.... do you guys think it can also be the idle control valve that went bad

 

[beater90]

you say the dizzy was replaced like four months ago, was it one of those autozone pos's?

 

[myHonda1]

sounds like your timing might be off. was this set properly when the swap was done?

you could try cleaning the IACV.

i bought the dizzy from honda

 

[mightyjoecivic]

maybe a sensor like the tps or iacv is going bad

is there any web site that will show you how to set the timing i have searched
but the ones i find the pics are blurry and cant really see them.... thanks for the help guys... cleand the IACV and nothing still running the same

 

[Taztwnpa]

have you tried HT DIYs?

 

[omarariza]

have you tried HT DIYs?

yeah i have but their pics are blurry

 

[omarariza]

well the timing was off a bit but it still does the same the rpm keeps going up and down what else can it be

 

[beater90]

engine rpms rising and falling at idle usually indicates a vacuum leak....take some carb cleaner and spray it around the intake manifold gasket, and vacuum lines...if the idle suddenly jumps up, you have a leak
