NOTE: Before setting the idle speed, check the follow-ing items;- The MIL has not been reported on.- lgnition timing- Spark plugs- Air cleaner- PCV system
'1. Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm withno load (transmission in neutral) until the radiatorfan comes on, then let it idle.
Connect a tachometer.
Disconnect the IAC valve 2P connector and the EVAPpurge controlsolenoid valve 2P connector.

lf the engine stalls, restart the engine with the accel-erator pedal slightly depressed. Stabilize the rpm at1.000, then slowly release the pedal until the engineidles.
Check idling in no-load conditions: headlights, blowerfan, rear defogger, radiator fan, and air conditionerare not operating.
ldl€ speed should be:
450 i 50 rpm
11-222
lf necessary, adjust the idle speed, by removrng lnecap and turning the idle adjusting screw.After adjusting the idle speed recheck the ignitlontiming (see section 23). lf it is out of spec, go backto step 4. |DLE
6. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
7. Reconnect the 2P connectors to the IAC valve andthe EVAP purge control solenoid valve, then do theECM reset procedure.
8. Restart and idle the engine with no-load conditionsfor one minute, then check the idle sDeed.ldle speed should bo:
USA:
D16Y5 engine: 670 i 50 rpm
81642 engine: 700 i 50 rpm
Canada:
81642 engine: 750 t 50 rpm
NOTE: lf the idle speed increases to 8lO t 50 rpm,this means the EVAP system is purging the canister.To stop the purging temporarily, raise the enginespeed above 1,000 rpm with the accelerator pedal,
then slowly release the pedal.
9. ldle the engine for one minute with headlights(Low) ON. and check the idle speed.
ldle speed should be:
750 i 50 rpm
10. Turn the headlights off. ldle the engine for oneminute with heater fan switch at Hl and air condi-tioner on, then check the idle soeed.ldls speed should be:
810 t 50 rpm
lf the idle speed is not within specification, seeSymptom Chart on page 11-84.

Adjust the idle speed using a Honda PGM Tester if pos-
sible. lf not, use the following procedure:
NOTE:
. Leave the IAC valve connected.
. Before s€tting the idle speed, check the following
rtems:- The MIL has not been reported on.
- lgnition timing
- Spark Plugs- Air clean€r
- PCV svstem
'1. Connect a tachometer.
2. Stan the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm w'th
no load (transmission in E or E] position) until the
radiator Jan comes on, then let it idle.
3. Check the idle speed under no-load conditions:
head lights, blower fan, rear defogger, radiator fan,
and air conditioner are not operatlng.
ldlo spaod ehould bo: 700 t 50 rpm
. lf the idle speed is within the specification, the
procedure is comPlete.
. lf the idle sDeed is out of specitication, 9o to step 4'
4. tf the idle speed is 810 1 50 rpm, this means the
EVAP system is purging the canister. To stop the
purging temporarily, raise the engine speed above
l,OO0 rgm with the accelsrator pedal. Slowly release
the pedal. and rscheck the idl€ speed.
. tf the idle speed is within the specificstion, the
Drocedure is comPlete.
. lf the idle sp€ed is out of spocification, go to step 5.
5. Disconnect th€ EVAP purgs control solenoid valve
2P connector.

6. Remove the cap and turn the idle adiusting screw
1/2-turn clockwise or counterclockwlse

7.After turning the idle adjusting screw 1/2-turn, check
the idl€ speed again. lf it is out of spec, turn the idle
adjusting screw 1/2-turn again.
NOTE: Do not turn the idle adjusting screw more
than 1/2-turn without checking the idle speed.
Turn the ignition switch OFF. Reconnect the EVAP
purge control solenoid valve 2P connector' then do
the ECM reset Procedure.
Start the engine. ldle the engine for one minute with
heater fan switch at Hl and air conditioner on, then
check the idle speed.
ldle spaed should be:
810 t 50 rpm (in El or E Posiiion)
lf the idle speed is not within specification, see

Fuel Tube/Ouick-Gonnect Fittings
Precautions
!@ Do not smoke while working on the fuel
system, Keep open flames away from your work a.ea'
The fuel tube/quick-connect fittings assembly connects
the in tank fuel pump with the fuel feed pipe. For remov-
ing or installing the fuel pump and fuel tank, it is neces-
sary to disconnect or connect the quick-connect fittings.
Pay attention to lollowing:
. The fuel tube/quick-connect fittings assembly is not
heat-resistant; be careful not to damage it during
welding or other heat-generating procedures
. The fuel tube/quick-connect fittings assembly is not
acid-proof; do not touch it with a shop towel which
was used for wiping battery electrolyte. Replace the
fuel tube/quick-connect fitlings assembly if it came
into contact with electrolyte or something similar.
. When connecting or disconnecting the fuel tube/
quick connect liltings assembly, be careful not to
bend or twist it excessively. Replace it if damaged
A disconnected quick-connect fitting can be reconnecled,
but the retainer on the mating pipe cannot be reused
once it has been removed from the pipe. Replace the
retatner wnen

1. Relieve fuel pressure (see pages 11'230,2311.
2. Check the tuel quick-connect tittings for dirt, and
clean if necessary.
3. Hold the connector with one hand and press down
the retainer tabs with the other hand, then pull the
connector off.
NOTE:
o Be carelul not to damage the pipe or other pans
Do not use tools.
. lf the connector does not move, keep the retainer
tabs pressed down, and alternately pull and push
the connector until it comes off easily.
. Do not remove the retainer from the pape; once
removed, the retainer must be replaced with a
new one.

3. Align the quick-connect fiftings with the pipe, and
align the retainer locking pawls with the connector
grooves. Then press the quick-connect fittings onto
the pipe until both retainer pawls lock with a click-

NOTE: lf it is hard to connect, put a small amount
of new engine oil on the pipe end.

4. Make sure the connection is secure and the pawls
are firmly locked into place; check visually and by
pulling the connector.
RCTAINER
Reconnect the battery negative cable, and turn the
ignition switch ON (ll). The fuel pump will run for
about two seconds, and fuel pressure will rise.
Repeat two or three times, and check that there is
no leakage in the fuel supplv system

Fuel Supply System
System Description
The fuel supply system consists of a fuel tank, in-tank
high pressure fuel pump, PGM-FI main relay, fuelfilter,
fuel pressure regulator, fuel injectors. and fuel delivery
and return lines. This system delivers pressure-regu-
lated fuel to the fuel injectors and cuts the fuel delivery
when the engine is not running.
Fuel Pressure l'96 Modelsl
Relieving
Before disconnecting fuel pipes or hoses, release pres-
sure from the system by loosening the 6 mm service
bolt on top of the fuel filter.
. Do not smoke whil6 working on the fuel system.
Kgsp opon flames or sparks away from youl work
area.
. Be sure to relieve fuel pressure while the ignition
switch is off.
1. Write down the frequencies for the radio's preset
buttons.
2. Disconnect the battery negative cable from the bat-
tery negative terminal.
3. Remove the fuelfill cap,
4. Use a box end wrench on the 6 mm service bolt at
the fuel filter while holding the special banjo bolt
with another wrench,
5. Place a rag or shop towel over the 6 mm service bolt.
6, Slowly loosen the 6 mm service bolt one complete
rurn.
. A fuel pressure gauge can be attached at the 6 mm
service bolt hole.
. Always reDlace the washer between the service
bolt and the special banjo bolt whenever the ser-
vice bolt is loosened.
. Replace all washers whenever the bolts are
removeo.

FUELPRESSUREGAUGE07406 - 00ir0(x)1
Start the engine. Measure the fuel pressure with the
engine idling and the vacuum hose of the fuel pres-
sure regulator disconnected from the fuel pressure
regulator and pinched. lf the engine will not start,
turn the ignition switch ON (ll), wait for two sec-
onds, turn it off, then back on again and read the
fuel pressure.
Pr€3sure should bo:
260 - 310 kPa (2.7 - 3.2 kgt/cmr, 38 - 46 psi)
Reconnect vacuum hose to the fuel pressure regulator,
Pressure should bo:
200 - 25O kPa l2.O - 2.5 kgf/cm' , 28 - 36 psil
lf the fuel pressure is not as specified, first check the
fuel pump {see page 11-2361. lf the fuel pump is OK,
check the following:
. lf the fuel pressure is higher than specified,
inspect for;- Pinched or clogged fuel return hose or line.- Faulty fuel pressure regulator (see page 11-234).. lf the fuel pressure is lower than specified, inspect
for:- Clogged fuelfilter.- Faulty fuel pressure regulator {see page 11-234).- Fuel line leakage.
