probably not necessary. try getting it to make it idle at 2xxxrpm like you said it would at a stop sign and see if you can force the throttle back with your hand- if it is stuck and you can push it back with your hand- you have an issue that might require some thought, probably vacuum/cap related.
It's more likely that something else is sticking like the choke or one of the misc. diaphragms which BTW should ALL be vented and NOT capped except the one that actuates the secondary barrel which is (should be) connected to a vacuum line/source

If that doesn't work try disconnecting your secondary (make sure to block off the vacuum supply with a cap) and see how it does. I warn you the car will act funny if you give it throttle over a certain point ~60%

and if THAT doesn't work, post anything you notice and we can go from there

since seafoaming, you will want to (nearly) finish off this current tank of gas and then do an oil change at which point it might not be a bad idea to run a thicker oil like 20w50 castrol (imo best oil on the market esp. for an old engine like this) that is what a lot of the racers here recommend and so do I.

alright ill give it a try, in the mean time i went down to home depot and got alot stiffer spring cause operantly no auto parts store carries such a spring so i will tell u how it goes ohhhhhhhhhhhh by the way, the reason i came to this conclusion is cause i push back on the throttle assembly and it does lower the idle after i drive it so my only thought was a stiffer spring and i did do this without the throttle cable hooked up so i now its not that and but i do have another idea im gonna try so i will be back in a few hours to tell everyone the results

alright guys she runs like a dream i cant stop driving her, ok i what i did is i added some vacuum to the diaphragm on

the very front passenger side of the carb and as i put the line on it i watched the throttle linkage move and the idle went

down i even got it to idle at 100rpm very smoothly i couldn't even tell it was on until i looked at the rpm's and it sat there for

a while until it stalled but what i did in all for anyone who had the same problems as me is i took off the a cap from the very

front of the carb on the driver side it should be a very large cap and then a ran a vacuum line from the base of the carb on

the driver side from under the carb it should look like its connected to the small barrel to the a diaphragm on the passenger

side of the carb in the very front it should be connected to the throttle linkage, but my last problem is when i was driving the

car stalled out twice but only when it was in neutral or i had my foot on the clutch and the dropped very quickly the so i

pooped it into 2nd and dumped the clutch to start her and she came to life fairly quickly so i raced home to see what was up

and i pulled into my driveway she was idling just fine at 1000rpm pretty steady bobing up to 1100 slowly so i when through

the the rpms and they where nice and crisp so i hel the throttle at 3000 for like 15secs and let of as quick as i could and

came back pretty quick but as soon as it hit 1500rpm it slowed down and sat there idling at 1300rpm for a while the slowly

cam back down does anyone know what i should do maybe im running to lean

i really did scream this word this many times and most of u can see why

Ouch! That's why you always have to check out your state's emissions laws! Depending on how strict your state is you might still be able to find someone to squeak you through.

What shape is the car in? You could always sell it to someone in a non-emissions state if you had to.

EDIT: I wonder if we should start trying to put together a map of which states it's safe to devac in and which it's not. A quick look online shows that it would be almost impossible to research since the rules are changing so quickly, so we'd have to survey people about their state.

im still hoping that it will pass cause i have 4 more months to get it to pass on my day off im gonna go take her to emissions im hoping she just barely fails cause i can throw on a new cat cause mine caught on fire so im assuming its done then hopefully it will pass if not my other option is to wait to more years so emissions doesn't apply to me but i dont know if my mom will let me keep her that long im only 15 and i have no where to take her

[zakats]

bla bla bla they say the same thing here in texas and I AM AN INSPECTOR.
our jobs are a PITA and we are in a hustle to get cars done so go when the place is busy, make EVERYTHING look like it's done correctly, they won't look at it very hard honestly especially if it looks like it might be all in order. just talk to the inspector before you take it in, they should be understanding- if not piss on 'em you can go somewhere else.


-the wire plugs from the black boxes, tuck them away out of sight.
-the bolt stubs on the passenger side, get two nuts on them and take the screw out then put a bolt in them so it looks like something is properly bolted in.
-get metal vacuum caps installed, otherwise say that the carb is aftermarket universal for various cars and those vacuum ports aren't for this car.
-use some spare vacuum tubes to connect to manifold vacuum ports and recirculate them onto other voided vacuum ports on the manifold
-the EGR and the other white valve thing on the up side of the manifold close to the head- route vacuum lines to each other going UNDER the manifold- out of sight! one of the ports on the white plastic valve on the driver side will need to be capped but run a vacuum line under the manifold to it and cap it with a bolt in the other end with a hose clamp if you're cheap for the temporary like me
-make sure the egr tube from the manifold is routed behind the engine block out of sight and plugged with no leakage.
-apply this logic to whatever I may have left out

If you can find any, you could get some E85 ethanol-gasoline (see link) use 2-3 gallons per full tank of regular gas to help lean it out a bit if you think it might run rich... it should be alright just make sure your air filter is very good or new.

there could be others unlisted

just stick with it, we can get you through this.



...and then again you could always register it in another state instead haha

[86 civic crx]

wow thanks dude i think for my birthday which is on August 26th for my only present im ask my mom to keep the car no matter what ohhhhh and some royal purple and a new oil filter thanks for the help dude i was actually thinking about making it look like it had all the stuff hooked up like u said but now i know that it should work im gonna try it

[86 civic crx]

alright guys after some begging i can keep the crx as long as i have a job and i pay for everything for the next year i got almost everything figured out i just need to know why when i hold the gas for a long period of time at any rpm it and let it go it drops like a rock and dies?

[zakats]

I say rebuild the carb... might not be the reason but it'd surely help
