Guys i need some quick help, My car just started acting up as of late. I've had a star Turbo kit on it for a year now. It is a GS with a star turbo kit. When it idles it seems it idles real low and gives off sort of a chugging sound. It doesn't completely die off and shut down but it just sort of chugs. I havn't run it in a while so i spiked up the gas with some octane boost thinking the gas may have gone bad but it didn't seem to work. I checked the plugs and they didn't seem to be fouled either, but im going to buy new ones just in case. Another thing is when i start to get on the Gas and go it boggs down and then when the turbo kicks in it starts running good. Msg back and tell me what you think. Thanks
 
it sounds to me like ignition probs.do this change it all out then clean throttle body and see what happens.
 
Yea i changed out the plugs, no help there, I forgot to put that when i rev it up when its in neutral it seems the rpm will stick. I give it gas and say i rev it up to about 3000 rpm, it will stick there before it comes back down. Any suggestions, ill check the throttle body and ignition though. Thanks

AIC???? Is that bad, and how much do you think to fix.

LOL sorry

(AIC)=honda terminology (ISC)= :dsm: terminology

we had one go bad on a customers car(2gnt) and the ISC was the problem.
the symptoms seem to be the same but get it checked out to comfirm that it is bad before you change it out.

although your idle just might need to be adjusted so try that first.
or it could be a vac leak.
good luck :thumb:
