Misfire detection is accomplished by monitoring the crankshaft speed with the crankshaft speed fluctuation (CKF) sensorwhich is attached to the crankshaft.
lf misfiring strong enough to damage the catalyst is detected. the MIL will blink during the time of its occurrence, and DTCP0300*5 or P1300*3'*' and some of DTCs P0301 through P0304 will be stored. Then, after misfire has ceased, the MIL willcome on.
lf misfiring that increases emissions is detected during two consecutive driving cycles, the MIL will come on, and DTCP0300*5 or P1300*3 *a and some of DTCS P0301 through P0304 will be stored.NOTE: lf some of the DTCS listed below are stored at the same time as a misfire DTC. troubleshoot those DTCS first, thenrecheck for the misfire DTC.

ldle Control System
System Description
The idle speed ot the engine is controlled by the ldle Air Control (lAC) Valve.The valve changes the amount of air bypassing into the intake manifold in response to electric current controlled bv theECM/PCM. When the IAC Valve is activated, the valve opens lo maintain the proper idle speed.

Adiust the idle speed using a Honda PGM Tester if pos-
sible. lf not, use the following procedure:
NOTEI
. Leave the IAC valve connected
. Betore setting the idle speed. check the following
items:- The MIL has not been reported on'
- lgnition timing
- Spark Plugs- Air cleaner- PCV system
1. Connect a tachometer.
2. Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm wirh
no load (in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan
comes on, then let it idle.
3. Check the idle speed with no-load conditions: head-
iights, blower fan, rear defogger, radiator fan, and
air conditioner are not operatlng
ldl€ spoed should be:

@ Do not smoke when working on the tuel systgm, Keep gp6n flames away from your work area
'f. Relieve the fuel pressure (see pages 11-230,231J.
2. Disconnect the connectors from thefuel injectors (D16Y7 engine: Remove the air cleaner).
3. Disconnect the vacuum hoses from thefuel pressure regulator. Placeashoptowel overthefuel return hose, then dis-connect it from the fuel pressure regulator. Disconnect the vacuum hoses and 2P connector from the EVAp purgecontrol solenoid valve.
4. Remove the retainer nuts on the fuel rail.
5. Disconnect the fuel rail.
6. Removethefuel injectors from the intake manifold.

The system supp|ies air for a|| engine needs' |t consists of the intake air pipe' Air C|eaner (ACL}, intake air duct, Thrott|e
Body (TB), ldle Air control (lAc) valve and intake manifold. A resonator in the intake air pipe provides additional silencing
