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.

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 ***!

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....
