I bought this crx long ago and didnt really care for it but know im in need of it. my integra broke down plus cant pass smog. and know i got school starting on wednesday with no car and no job to pay for fixing any of em lol. the crx was an abandoned car so it needs to be registered and smogged in order to legally drive it around so my goal is to pass smog thats all.

so i have this 50 dollar crx i got it to run. the car idles at 2k i go take out the air cover thingy and this is hard to explain but basically the thing that turns the choke plate doesnt allow it turn to open all the way or doesnt open correctly. it allows the choke plate to open slightly when you turn it on but it doesnt allow it to open all the way. there these wires that wrap around and are mangled but basically its hard to explain ill try to get a picture up later on and you guys can tell me if this suppose to look like that or not. but it looks rigged.

so if i was to hold the choke plate open by hand. it would drop the idle down to 1500-1400 or so and if i was to gas it a little it would drop to 0 and the car would turn off/stall. but if i leave it how it is with the choke plate almost closed partially opened idling at 2k and gas it the car doesnt die. but it seems that only if i am under 2k if i gas it it would die.

at 1500 the exhaust system moves a little and sounds like its slightly misfiring. one spark plug stick out a lot farther then the other i believe the owner before crossthreaded the spark plug threads and the spark plug can not go in all the way. that could be a reason why it misfires rite? because i believe it misfires its hard to tell. could i pass smog without dealing with the idle problems?

can you guys please help me out im in need. i was thinking about getting a carb from pick n pull throwing it on or what do you guys think i should do or check thanks.
