Couple questions about my 'new' baby. My 2000 S2000.

When i fire it up first hing in the morning, it idles at 2000 RPM, period. I can rev it up a bit and it'll settle back at 2k until the engine warms up. Normal?

And today my check engine light came on, so my first reaction is, naturally, check air filter [Which is still pretty clean, despite a large dragonfly having found it's death in my airbox] and oil... but Honda decided to be as crafty as they could with these cars, first the Fuel door, now the dipstick. Where's that sneaky devil?

If the Oil and such is fine, I'll take it in and have the diagnotic done tomorrow, but I worry about my little car.

 

Check vacuum hoses. Dipstick is black rectangle on right side of valve cover.

My car idles close to 2k on cold start as well. As did my old s

 

Dude almost every honda revs at 2k in the morning during the first start of the day...jeez are for real?

 

Dude, it's my first S2000. Engine computer says Evaporation canister's leaking... Need to purchase Hayes manual x.x

 

It'll idle pretty high on first start up, I wouldn't reccomend revving it though..

 

How many cars have you owned? It's like that with most cars that are not even hondas. They rev high in the morning as a warm up procedure. That has NOTHING to do with and engine check light.

 

The two questions are unrelated.

Light came on because the Evap canister's got a leak.

 

The reason I asked is becuase you should know that most cars do this during there warm up procedure, like you have never had a car before.

 

I thought these forums were to help people not to bash them. Do most cars idle high on cold start? Yes. At 2k? no, most do not.

 

Ok but this is common knowledge that is in the facts thread I think. He could have searched before starting an entire thread about something that's is so obvious.
