1984 Honda Civic idle speed too high (2000 RPM)

Choke setting is fine. I don't know how to adjust the fast idle cam. Even after driving the car for some time, the idle won't drop

Hi, I checked the idle speed cam and that wasn't the problem, but I did manage to find out what was causing the high rpm. When you press the gas pedal the throttle linkage moves and supplies gas, but when you step of the pedal the throttle linkage wasn't going back to its original position. I used a long nose plyers and forced the throttle linkage back and the idle dropprd down to 800 rpm. I think the spring has lost it's tension or their might be some corosion in the assembly.

Thanks for your help

I ordered a new carb kit and should be receiving it today. Maybe i'll have time this weekend to strip the carb down and clean and install new kit.

I will let you know how it goes.

Thanks

Hi, I said I will let you know when I rebuilt the carb with the new kit. Idle is now down to about 800 and seems to run well for a few days. Today when I tried to start the car. It will start but theres no ignition display. Runs okay but no tach, oil, temp and no red lights when you normally turn on the ignition. Any idea why.

Thanks again for your help

I did not check any fuses or wiring yet. I didn't want to mess with anything I didn't have to. I will check this weekend. Its weird how the car starts though plus theres so many different lights and guages. How is it possible that everything stopped working at the same time. I am almost sure theres more than one fuse that control everything.

Thanks
