All,
My 2002 Accord V6 EXHonda sat for about 4 months with very minimal driving due to beer flu. The battery went dead and the speedometer needle actual went the wrong way and got stuck below the stopper when I jumped it. It also surged alot while driving after being jump a few times. Gas was treated and there was a full tank since I typically drive 500 miles a week spread across three cars until March last year so each vehicle gets about 300 miles every two weeks.
I went and got a new battery, which fixed the speedometer needle problem and the car doesn’t surge nearly as bad while driving but still do a little bit as speed under 30 mph. It still idle high once the car warm up, as high as 3000 rpm but mostly 2000 rpm. Engine speed drops to 1100-1200 rpm once I put it in Drive. At stop with engine in drive, engine speed is 1100-1200 rpm and slight surge in between. Once I get to highway speed, it seems fine and engine speed may be 100 rpm higher than before at 60 mph but that is not alarming. The alarming part is if I take my foot off the gas, the car will maintain 40 mph speed until it encounter a hill. If I put it in Neutral or Park, engine speed will rev up to 2000 rpm amd sometime 3000. It did settle to 1500 rpm yesterday after my friend sprayed cleaner into the throttle bottle intake by removing the air filter and the plastic air duct housing.
What could be wrong? It has check engine light on and I don’t remember the code but recall it may have been something with MAP sensor snd that what caused me to try to clean the throttle body via the spray cleaner but I doubt that did anything or even if that was done right since I didn’t see the MAP sensor. Should I do the idle learn procedure? 5 mins seem like a long time to be abke to hold the engine steady at 3000 rpm.
Thanks
