    i have a 87 si (fuel injected) that i have been trying to get on the
    road for over a year as a project and now this little problem is making
    me wanna rip out the hair that is left on my head.

    it runs fine when i first start it. i recently put on a new throttle
    body and fast idle control valve (from a junk yard since i broke my old
    ones trying to clean them due to a hunting idle) in order to get this
    thing to idle properly so i can get this thing inspected. I got it
    idleing at 750rpm at operating temp, however once this this gets to
    operating temp and i give it gas, it sometimes stalls immediately. I
    have also recently put in new plugs/wires/cap/rotor/pcv valve and have
    swapped map sensors so i dont think its that either..

    I am fairly certain that i do not have any vaccum leaks, i cant hear
    one with a piece of tube in my ear and searching, nor does carb cleaner
    increase the idle when i spray it over the connections. after it
    stalls, i have a hard time trying to get it to run again. normally i
    have to wait for it to cool off for a bit.

    There are some vacuum lines that have been capped off since i bought
    it, but i have no idea where i can find a decent vaccum diagram online?


    Can anyone send me in the right direction?? i cant seem to find any
    info on this problem or where i can find a vaccum

    thanks in advance,
    -Dustin

    thanks, found what i needed there which makes me even more confused
    about my stalling problem since that shows me a capped line on the Fast
    idle control valve by default.

    There's an online workshop manual for the '84-'87 Civic at
    http://www.honda.co.uk/car/owner/workshop.html... since the CRX is based on the
    Civic, it may be helpful...

  5. I don't know about 1987 models but earlier models had a vacuum diagram
    under the hood. My '83 Civic FE did not but luckily, someone else in
    town had one that I was able to take pictures of it and other "under the
    hood" documentation.

    the car was pretty f__ked up when my friend gave it to me and the
    sticker wasnt there. i dont know anyone with a first gen crx in my
    town... i might have to take a camera to a junkyard next time i roll
    out there or try to peel one off if one out there has one.

    thanks.
