ok, i drive a 98 civic lx and it drives great... but when i stop it idles sooooo low, i think its gonna stall!!! i checked and i am putting the clutch the whole way down... there's nothing stopping it...

i took 2 pictures with my phone to show where it idles, the pictures are of the vehicle sitting at a complete stop...




is there any way i can just make it idle higher?

thanks for your time...

I have a 98 Civic HX with the same problem. Anyone have any ideas?

 

My 92 cx is doing the same thing, it only happens when it is really hot outside. Hasn't been too bad lately though.

 

I forgot to mention that my car idles fine after I drive it for 20-30 mins. It usually gives me problems when I start the car in the morning or after I park the car for a few hours.

 

alright guys here you go. on the mani lefthand side of the mapsen there is a small flat head screw driver screw. turn it to the left or counter clockwise to rais your idle abit. mine did the samething untill i did that and i never had the prob again. i hope it helps.

 

Did it give you a check engine light after you adjusted the screw?

 

my98ex hashad the problem for a year now.
idles low...
but... weird thing is i turn on the ac
or headlights and it goes back up.
so now i drive with my headlights
on.. =)

 

When I turn my AC on when it's idling low, the AC makes clicking noises. I'm assuming it's because the idle is too low to power the compressor.
