0 Hola Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Hi, I had a AC problem. I went to staford where they did the cleaning up but i had to replace the sensors. So what i did was i put a external switch and made the AC on/off in a seperate switch. This was done in a superb place in Kelaniya Anyhow Honda is known for stable RPM with AC or without AC. usualy mine stays around 800 with AC. I do not know if thats ok... Hola Did you show to the ppl at Staford again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember this same thing happened to another EG8- which Zakie was able to fix.. what RPM to you idle with AC? Is there the sound of a 'miss' when you turn it on..

0 Hola Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Pila, Do you have an idea on whats the standards should be in terms of RPM when its on N and D? Usualy if I put to N it goes to 1000 but D is 800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hola Did you show to the ppl at Staford again? first of all this is not a honda bashing and i know this is o/t but i don't wana open up a new tread for this. is it really worth it to take an 'old' vehicle to agent to fix problems. aren’t they suppose to be a rip off??? in other treads i've seen people saying that they took their hondas (eg8, ek3, city) to stafford for engine problems. is it really worth it??? specially for cars like that. guess its alright if the car has been maintained at the agent form day one. i've taken my vehicles to agents few times that is to diagnose the problem using their computer thing apart from that i really don’t see the point unless its a real expensive vehicle(u know what i mean). just my 2 cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Hola Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Well actlualy its the mentality....some people have it in their heads that company is the best....some think its not worth it....My personal view is that if you are screwed, compnay can do something for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Elvis_Pil Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Pila,Do you have an idea on whats the standards should be in terms of RPM when its on N and D? Usualy if I put to N it goes to 1000 but D is 800 hmm it should be around 700 but thats on manuals.. those numbers seem ok- if you have fitted ana after market rpm clock.. the numbers can sometimes be accurate.. check the underside of your bonnet, there should be a JDM sticker giving the correct figure.

0 Hola Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Right thanks, Thusha, another advice is that you clean off the front AC and radiator fins with air atleast twice a month. This was adviced by staford to me once, there is actulay lot of dust and whn you clean it you feel a great change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
