Yeah...  But at least we hadn't started to *put* money into it (roll cage, racing seats, racing brakes, engine mods, nomex suits, etc...)

I just nipped it in the bud as it was going no-where....

I'm out the cost of the car, registration fees, and about $300 in parts to keep it on the road.  At least I won't be loosing any more $$$...

I'm sad to see her go, but it was fun following Stew to the salvage yard....  He was stopping every 50 - 100 yards to do burn-outs!  [evil]   [bow_down] [bacon]

I find it disturbing that you're imagining me in a sauna, never mind the teletubbie aspect of it

Could you not have "sold" it to someone out of state and had them register it?

Not exactly up n up but sometimes that's how things get done :)

I could have done that, but honestly...  I was just driving the car around and the problems with it were getting worse.  Stalling, idling around 2200rpm, heater went out...

I figured it was best to just cut losses and move on.

Bought a 2003 E250 van earlier this week and got a good deal on that so I'm better off as I can haul Moto's again!  [thumbsup]

Idling ~2000rpm = bad MAF...

No Mass air on those cars, my friend.

No Mass air on injected hondas up to at least the late 90's (where my knowledge drops off) as they used a speed/density system with a MAP sensor.

Alrighty then, that seems to be the general issue with a bad MAF though. Either way, he junked the car so it's a non issue...

Indeed.

An intake leak can also allow a high idle.  Manifold gasket or throttle body gasket would do it, or a broken vacuum hose.

This thread makes me miss my prelude

Here's where it got odd:  High idle until warm and then only slightly raised idle but it ran really rich all the time...  I had thought about opening up a controlled vacuum leak between the air intake past the filter but before the throttle body and then regulate it to the manifold after the throttle body but never got enough gumption to do it.

Eh...maybe another year....
