Low rpm below 1k on start up
What up folks so not sure if anyone else has experienced this issue when i turn on my car after its up to temp the rpm's always drop below 1k for just a split second and it sounds like my car is gonna turn off it does not do it on cold start just when the car is up to temp...hmmmm does this happen to anyone else?
i have the same issue when its done warming up and after a short or long drive turn it off and back on it will drop below 1k then sputter and jump back up i;ve done my research and im thinking its the map sensor.
i had this happened to me a few days ago. Try cleaning your air filter if you haven't. Do mapwhack and relearn the ecu for the idle. It fixed my problem. Alot of members said this is a common problems that will re-occur.
ya it drives me crazy any suggestions on how to fix it maybe i know its not the air filter its new i just installed my v2 intake like not even a month ago my friend has an ap1 as well and he says his kidna does it after he drives it kinda hard or steps on the gas but he has yet to see how mine does so im not sure if its the same thing...any suggestions on how to eliminate the issue even if it does come back id like to get rid of it...i wonder if it would be hard to do it our selves? how do i mapwhack and relearn teh ecu?
to mapwack, just give the map sensor a few wack with a screw driver. To relearn the ecu, pull the fuse under the dashboard. It's the 2 on down from the 1st row of fuses. Pull it for like 30-60 seconds. Then put it back in and start the car and let it run for 10-15 minutes till the cooling fan comes on. Make sure all the stuff in the car is turned off, AC, radio etc etc

DO NOT "whack" the map sensor with a screw driver. It a sensitive sensor and this could damage it and then guess what you'll be in the market for? There are more appropriate ways to do this. Use the search button this issue has been covered before.
stiking any elaectriacl sensor is a bad thing
,honda does not aprove and is nowhere in any service mannual or tsb,i would know lol
go to hond have them look at the tsb .they will good will it for u most of the time
