Hi guys,

 

Driving a 08 1.6a honda civic. I have this problem when i on my ac. Driving time no problem.. ac is cold. When i stop, ac cuts then cuts in back theres a vibration.. i am clueless did trottle body already.. anyone can help?

If correct plug but too narrow gap might cause poor idling but better red line performance.

 

EO slightly overfill sud not b a problem. But I prefer to underfill very slightly below the "F" mark(abt 3/4 full).

 

Chk yr plug leads if connected properly n if ty r old n cracked n leaking current.

 

Bro, think you are the 1st person I came across topping up the oil level at around 3/4 full. I did similiar stuff, but only at 1/2 full. It gaves me better engine response.... many people simply doesnt undestand what is the max and min indicator on the oil dip stick stands for.... Most just top up all the way to max or slightly above max....

Nothing wrong. Just idling time, the RPM is just enough to support the car idling and not air con. When air con suddenly kicks in, the RPM drop due to load on the engine, thus car vibrate. The vibration should be gone and not persist. If persist, then need to look for workshop to adjust your idling to higher RPM.

Workshop adjusted rpm still not going away

How he adjust? using a device?

 

In that case, probably the mounting for compressor is spoil. You need another person to test and you pop open the bonnet and see. You need to know which one is compressor then test.

 

First start your engine, but air con off. Then you get someone to switch on the air con. Make sure the air con temp is the coldest. Then you see which part vibrate. See if the engine vibrate more or is it the compressor. Then you can diagnose if RPM issue or compressor no strength or gonna jam or what. I'm not air con guy, but I think that's how it should be tested.

Thank you.. really appreciate it.. will go down to workshop to check again.. problem only comes when ac is on

errr....air con compressor have no mounting. Unless you refer to engine mounts.

They did throttle body cleaning.. mentioned abt idling.. not very savy with such so probably taking me for a ride

I'm not sure about air con compressor whether have mounting. My thinking is the compressor must be sitting on something in the engine bay right? So that thing that it sit on, probably loose. I'm not sure also.

Not sure this help, I changed spark plug, flush engine and changed gear fluid to have smooth ride. Two of the mounting were goner but vibration is not sensible. Btw, this was done on my previous odyssey.

I thot modern cars cannot adjust rpm level..only old cars using carb is able to adjust.

 

My Edix also got this vibration problem while idling..but if i step on the gas abit to increase the rpm then its okay.

 

Anyone had any idea what went wrong ?

Modern car can adjust, but not manually adjust only. Need to use on board computer to adjust the idling.

Hi guys, recently I encountered my throttle body vibrating. Went to workshop to change spark plug and have TB cleaned. The vibrating still exist, the mechanic told me idling too low thus create the vibration. He then manually adjust the idling rpm higher by using a screwdriver to adjust the TB. Now my car dashboard show the "check engine" light. Using obd to diagnose and error code show P1589. Any brothers can help to advice how to rectify it?

[Apple-Tree]

This one this the TB error.  I think the mech never connect the wire harness properly or you connection point dying.

 

 

Make sure engine off, re sit the TB connector lor could solve the problem.

 

Is the car very "old" ?

Suspect there is high kilo-volt leaking to ground from the spark plug high tension wire(s) due to poor handling /removing or aging ( carbon core in the spark plug wires may have  fractures causing high resistance and resulting in  leaking  to ground )

 

Suggest yr mech do a resistance test ( using a volt amp meter ) on each and every spark plug wires  and compare the reading to a new set of spark plug wires to confirm the source of the problem.
