Hi all,
The idle speed on my 82 prelude has suddenly increased from 1000 rpm to ~2000 rpm. Even after the car has warmed up it settles to about
1800-2000 rpm on idling.On a couple of occasions it did seem to come back to its idle speed of
1000 rpm, but it doesnt seem to hold it there for a sustainable amount of time.I have also noticed that when I change gears, and I press the clutch, the RPM momentarily shoots up to 3000 and then comes down again. It is a carbureted car. I checked with a mechanic verbally and he thought my carburetor is going bad. But I am not sure if this is indeed the problem because I havent seen other signs. I get decent gas mileage (28-30 mpg)
So, I am not sure what could be wrong. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
Sincerely, Sunny
