car is acting weird... read please!

Okay i recently did the valve lash on my 92 accord lx with the f22a1.. to what delta wanted me to do the valve lash. Okay for some reason the car can't stay running right without manual adjusting the throttle cable so i'm at 1300-1500 rpms...... wtf is this???? very so often can i loosen the throttle cable and it'll idle at 1000rpm perfectly at least for 2 mins then it starts to die then come back and when this happens i throw a CEL.... um okay all i did was change the valve lash in 30 mins and thats all........

and when i start up cold the car is putting but still idling fine at 1500rpms.. when it warms up it idles normal (no putting) could my 1 degree colder plugs be doing this??? its - 5 degrees here in Minnesota as well???


if someone can help me figure out my CEL that would be awesome and the way its acting, i checked over all plugs and they are in... PCV valve is in.... i dunno what couldda happened after 30 mins of changing the valve lash???

ok i have a code 41 and a code 43.. both have to do with fuel or the o2 sensor....... the car has 173,000 and it hasn't been replaced in at LEAST 50,000 miles and my A/F gauge is reading right at idle......... o2 sensor i hope????


also the car runs PERFECT when i'm driving it normally or beating on it..

Hey guys can too tight of valve lash cause all of this?? it DID start right after i did the valve lash...

[DraZtiK]

stock valve lash is

Exhaust - .012
Intake - .010

Delta says

Exhaust .008
Intake .006

and my buddy said he's heard of cars not even starting cuz the valve lash is too tight... which happens to me with my remote start... before it would start up PERFECTLY everytime but now sometimes it won't start on the first try.

I say take it back to stock valve lash

Hey guys just wanna let you know that the valve lash was too tight and now it runs perfect! i read up on too tight of valve lash and sometimes the car will not start or it'll have a shitty idle because if its too tight you won't have good compression!!! i'm happy it all runs good now!
