question about rev's returning to idle.
hey guys
everytime i take my foot off the gas, and let the RPM drop, it goes below 750, right to the little line on the bottom of the tach, and then bounces up to 750 again, and holds fine. This happens mostly all the time, sometimes it goes lower than others.. and sometime it seems pretty good (i.e. nothing to worry about)... but it gets a little annoying.. especially if you are revving your car for fun (i like my car alot.. ok... lol) and everytime it drops off and makes you feel like you are gona stall the car..
thanks alot guys.. any input is appreciated.

Warm the engine up FULLY. Then while it idles, pull the electrical plug off the bac. If the engine dies or almost dies, then I'd suggest the idle needs to be set properly to the free online fsm. Fuel Section.

I would make a guess as to a not stuck but dirty BAC valve.
Would explain the delay, but wouldn't show up as not working when you unplug it.
Anyway, I'm just guessing 'cause of how things are put together... never taken the BAC apart myself anyway.

What does the bypass air control valve do? And hey street racer, you think these cars did this brand new? So why should it do it now? Maybe it's fine in your sense, but obviously not his, I don't mean to be a dick.

I cleaned my bac, injectors, ACV, and alot of the electrical connectors in that area first. Then I went about readjusting the TPS, and opening the secondary throttle plates ever so slightly to keep my idle at 700rpm, and mine doesn't do that after all that stuff (did it at the same time, so I couldn't tell you what changed it, probably the plate adjustment).
Now when I rev and let go, it'll drop to ~800rpm, hold for a split second, and drop to 700 rpm. The only time it dips now is if I have my headlights on and then step on the brake while pushing in the clutch.

THe dash pot system is suppose to slow the throttle plate closeing. So there is no rpm dips on decel. Sometimes the dash pot would get stuck if is too old and dry. Try sparying some lube on it and checking the vacume hose that the dash pot is connected to.

Put some "heavy" elec load on the engine and then unplug the BAC, the rpm should drop.
if it does not, the BAC system is not working and has no effect because the idle is not set correctly.
About the dashpot, I don't have any and I don't see any rpm dipping at all. So I doubt the dashpot is the root of your problem although it could certainly help to have it adjusted to come into contact above 1,500 rpm (I think FSM says 2,100 rpm).
The above is just my 2 cents and should be taken at face value especially if not an s4 NA.

if it does not, the BAC system is not working OR has no effect because the idle is not set correctly.
another possible problem is the TPS, btw.

is it the same for a NA???

Well I am having the same problem and I have no emissions and no secondary throttle. I'm thinking it is either the charging system or mine is worse when the car is colder. Usually I let it warm up to operating temps before driving it like 5 to 10mins of warm up however the other day I didn't have time so I just let it warm up about 3 or 4 minutes and the first time I came to a stop it actually stalled but after that it didn't happen again. I'm thinking charging system because my idle stays around 740-748rpm however when my lights are on when I rev the engine more the lights get brighter??? Anyways just thought I would mention what I've seen so far on the problem.

If your alternator was pulling too much resistance it'd do that hondahater.
Wish I paid more attention in class on rebuilding alternators... only auto class I took and I can't remember jack. ;D
But yeah, I don't know where else to start on that except that maybe somehow the alternator or the belts to it are getting too much extra friction, or the alternator is just going bad.

thanks bob! I have a dual alternator pully I wonder if that is what is causing it? Or at least causing the lights to brighten when I rev it. huh? I may just go get my alternator tested but damnit it's such a bitch getting that thing back on. I have to use a big *** hammer to knock the alternator onto the spacer at the same time trying to line up the holes right Anyways I don't think I'm going to worry myself with the issue to much because as soon as my car warms up it works fine (of course this may change if the alternator is going out).
