My 1994 honda civic Ex coupe is idleing at 2-2.2k RPMS almost consistently while the clutch is engaged or in 2nd gear. All the gears work but im not sure if something is wrong with my 2nd gear, also if i was too go from 1st gear to 3rd gear, MY RPMs would probably be around 1.5k.
i checked the FITV which seems to be a constant problem for hondas, didnt look like it was unscrewed or anything but i screwed it back down and losen it a bit as instructed.
If i reach down and pull the gas pedal up, the rpms will drop to 1k where im acustom to it being.
I haven't really checked coolant yet, as i've never done that before so ill probably check it out first thing tomorrow to see if i need some or not, not sure how to check for vacuum leaks either so that would be greatly appreciated if thats the case.
Also i HAVE recently installed a new AEM short ram intake about a week ago, The problem has been going on for about a month now and i've been using it as minimum as possible as im a delivery driver and actually have to have a car to work. over the past week though its gotten worse reaching higher into the RPM band, Its killing my brakes cause when i try to brake the rpms are high and its like my car is trying to accelerate and brake at the same time, Almost had a accident just today and decided that, thats it. I absolutely have to find this problem and fix it.
Also idk if this helps or not but, I noticed that when i first turn on the car and drive for the first 5 or so minutes i dont have the problem and its not such a big deal at night either, so im wondering if that would be coolant related?
Heard a loud squeal noise earlier today when slowly coasting in first gear at a stop sign during traffic.
Please and thank you for all help.
