Hi there OzHonda members
New member here, looking forward to contributing where I can.
Well, I have a new project, I'll be working on a 76 Civic with a T2 engine swap with a family friend starting from this week. The main issue at the moment is regarding cold idle. It sits at around 2000rpm for the first ten minutes, then drops to around 900 after that.
I have searched threads on here about this, but the following over at CityTurbo seems to be the most pertinent:
http://www.cityturbo.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1810&p=14382&hilit=2000rpm+cold
However, their community isn't nearly as active as here so I wanted to ask here also. Is ten minutes too long for it to warm up? We are based in SA btw, with a current low of around 7 degrees celsius overnight here in winter.
We are suspicious that there is something else at play because there seems to be a light smoke (possibly from too much fuel being run through the engine) coming out of the exhaust pipe.
Any assistance much appreciated.
