Rough idle on my Honda accord?
I just bought a very well maintained 1994 Honda accord, this is my first time owning a Honda it has the f22b2 engine in it and it popped up a code to be specific it's code 12 which is exhaust recirculating system I'm not to sure what to do to fix it I cleaned the egr valve out and still having the same issue I just did a complete tune up on it plugs wires cap and rotor people are telling me to clean the o2 sensors and check for vacuum leaks but everyone is sayin just buy a new egr valve I don't want to buy one if I don't need it does anyone know what I can do to fix this or has anyone had the same issue?
Code 12 means the EGR is not delivering as much exhaust flow as it should - that is an emissions issue (almost always carboned ports at fault) and will not cause the rough idle.
If by rough you mean the engine shakes at idle in drive, especially with A/C on, that is almost certainly a rear engine mount. In automatic tranmission Accords the rear mount is vacuum controlled hydraulically softened. There's a vacuum hose that goes from a control module on the firewall to the mount and the control delivers vacuum when the engine is idling in gear. The vacuum moves the lever you can see if you look from the right angle and softens the mount, reducing the vibration. You can try nudging the lever along and see how it changes things, but I never found anything that would restore operation when the mount gets old. A bargain price for the mount is about $150 and it does not look all that easy to replace, so I just lived with it.
- Hesitation and pulsing rough idle on cold start? 2012 Honda Civic, 165k miles. Been having a lot of hesitation off the line (picking up speed from a stop). When slowing down from 5mph to 0mph, and while stopped, my idle is rough and "earthquakey" in bursts. On cold starts my car idles rough and feels like a pulsating feeling like the car's going to die. RPMs on cold start are 1500 and take 10minutes to drop to 800. No codes, shifting is smooth. Any ideas?
- Mechanics: Rough estimate on price to replace power window switch in Honda Accord 1996? Include rough estimate cost of parts plus labor please! Thank you **Is it possible to test if the switch needs to be replaced BEFORE checking if the motor needs to be replaced?
- 2002 honda accord flashing check engine light and extremely rough idling? I added some oil because i was low, that didn't seem to fix the problem. When the car is idling its is a very slow pop-pop-pop-pop but when i give it gas it goes away. Also, if i'm driving on flat or slighly downhill ground the light stays on, but stops blinking. When i go uphill it begins blinking again. Any ideas?
- 2001 Honda Accord has a rough idle when the engine is cold? Replaced broken front motor mount (after market) on my and new spark plugs. Now rough idle slightly better, but now I have a slight vibration in steering wheel at idle, and slightly worst in reverse and when in park. After further inspection by Honda and original repair shop, all motor mounts are good. The rear mount cover is torn but still good. Not sure if this is normal?
