1993 civic dx auto(problems)

[grunt2001]

My aunt bought a 1993 civic dx auto, the other day not running.WE have replaced fuel filter and plugs and the car runs now but really rough at an idle.going down the road she runs very well,but sitting there at an idle it drops rpm's and dies occasionally.When you put the car in reverse or drive it idles down then dies any thought's?Ineed to get this thing fixed by sunday so she can go to work.:confused:

Jerry rigging?? That, sir, is a documented fix..............

I would just try the usual, clean TB, IACV, blah blah..

whats the idle at out of gear? whats the idle at in gear? its not normal in the honda world but I have seen a tourque converter be the issue before because it was to tight. It would drag down on the engine at idle. another question is the load applied with the a/c onor off?

Check fuel pressure.

It kills it as soon as heat or air is on.im gonna check compression tomorrow.Iread somewhere else torque converter might be an issue.What is that thing called on the passenger side rear of intake mani that has 3 12mm bolts?Called honda and the said thay cld be culprit:confused:

you are making making to much of a load at idle for it the aicv is not compensatin like it needs to replace it or clean and see where that puts you.
