Euro Ravs low when still

[aaronng]

Check the airfilter first. Also, are you using 91, 95 or 98 RON petrol?

mine idles at 500rpm, and I'm loving it! I turn off all electrical accessories, lights, stereo, a/c, everything, and the car just sit's still in Neutral, and it's not grasping for a breath, it's just fine~

As aaronng says 1st.check air filter. then fuel filter.Maybe run a good injector cleaner like the one from Redline.Due to the age of your Euro it's possible it needs an injector service.how many Kms has it done?

thank you guys for helping me out! yep, I'll get the air filter checked tomorrow and also change a good brand engine oil (something like mobil 1) then have a good run to see if it improves : ) I'll share the result later tomorrow.

Tony: mine is 04 model with around 40k kms, it hasn't been driven a lot but as you said coz of its age, I will run a good injector cleaner if the above methods don't help.

Engine oil will be alright if you used 0w-30, 5w-30, 10w-30, 0w-40, 5w-40 or 10w-40.
At 40k, your fuel filter should be ok. The last thing left is the air filter. So check that. Change it if it is black.

Yeah,change engine oil,i use Elf 5W30 $55,full synthetic,then take it for a blast down the freeway and hit vtec a few times and im sure you,ll notice an improvement.

Sorry for not been able to reply at the weekend as it's been a really busy weekend. Yep, i replaced the old air filter with a new one, the old one looks pretty dusty and can even see some dead body of some kinds of little insects.... Just found out the car has just been serviced a month ago with Honda oil already filled in, so maybe not really in a hurry to replace with new oil. But I have bought 5L Mobil 1 10w-30 and will put it in at next service since I really want to check out if most praised mobil 1 will make any dramatic difference to the engine... : )

sorry to hijack but...

yeh how good is mobil 1? how often you change your pod filter?
atm i am using motul 4100 turbolight 5W40 and it lets the car rev more freely

haven't changed to mobil 1 I will change by end of this week

I didn't feel big difference, but the more I get used driving the Euro, the more I like it. even though still when the revs is low it doesn't rock ,but when revs up above just 2000rpms, it flys! not to mention the auto gear always try to stay in the right gear to let the car revs most happily. I will change mobil 1 oil sometime this week and hopefully will bring my Euro more strenghth!?
