items:- The MIL has not been reported on.- lgnition timing- Spark plugs- Air cleaner- PCV system
o (Canada) Pull the parking brake lever up. Start the
engine, then check that the headlights are off.
1. Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3.000 rpm withno load (taansmission in neutral) until the radiatorfan comes on, then let it idle.
2. Connect a tachometer.
3. Disconnect the IAC valve connector.
4.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.

Adjust the idle speed, if necessary, by removing thecap and turning the idle adjusting screw.
NOTE; After adjusting the idle speed in this step,recheck the ignition timing (see section 23).
lf it is out of spec, go back to step 4.

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.

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

NOTE: Check the transmission oil with the engine OFF
and the vehicle on level ground.
1. Remove the oil filler plug, then check the level and
condition of the oil.

WASHERReplace.
The oil level must be up to the filler hole. lf it is
below the hole, add oil until it runs out. then rein-
stall the oil filler plug with a new washer.
lf the transmission oil is dirty, remove the drain plug
and drain the oil.
Reinstall the drain plug with a new washer, and refill
the transmission with the recommended oil to the
proper lever.
NOTE: The drain plug washer should be replaced at
every oil change.
Reinstall the oil filler plug with a new washer.

Always use Genuine Honda Manual Transmission
Fluid {MTF). Using motor oil can cause stiffer shift-
ing because it does not contain the proper addi-
t|ves.
