Im having a few issues with my n/a 87
 
Hunting Idle, just till it warms up to about 1/8 or 1/4 on the temp guage then it idles fine...

Backfires, lots of little pops happening in the back more so when the car is still warming up, I know it does when I open the throttle wide but it does when im staying under 4 grand.

I removed my power steering belt...Can I just remove the whole power steering assembly now? Is it that simple?

When I listen to my sparkplugs when the car is running I can hear what sounds like static clicks....Is that normal?

Do I need any special tools to remove and replace my O2 sensor?

The throttle seems to lag a bit if i put the pedal to the floor for a second...Its like boggg ...Vrrrmmmmmmm


For the most horse power could I run all colder plugs (which ones are the the bur9eq or 7eq??) With advanced timing and higher octane premix....??

And the other problem is a 91 prelude stock thinks he can beat me. :fruit:

The hunting idle is very normal, I have the same problem as do many many others. Just think of it as a rotary engine thing.

The backfiring when cold is also normal. Trust me, it gets alot more annoying when you open up your exhaust with a high flow cat ect.

I think you can just pull out your power steering pump and the like and go to manual. If you want the better road feel though I think you have to change out the whole steering rack to a manual one.

I had a strange clicking noise from my trailing side ingnitor that sounded like static clicks. When I replaced my plug wires it went away. Try that if you haven't already.

Good luck with the car man, and kick that Honda's ass!

P.S. If you have any questions feel free to PM me or email me bro.

Im just wondering what I should do with the powersteering hoses? Do I have to plug them with something?

And about the colder plugs and advanced timing and higher octane....
