Have had constant problems with keeping the idle constant due to water controlled idle.
Replaced hoses, thermostat, radiator flushed.
Alternator rebuilt at 258,000km.
Wheel bearing replaced at 238,000km.
Other than the problems with keeping the idle right this car has been fantastic for a car with its mileage. Have travelled more than 30,000km in less than one year. Car has looks that are timeless and is a true classic of its time. Good performance, lovely gearbox and sharp handling. Nicely laid out dash and controls and very comfortable seats that also look the part.
I bought a Honda Integra 1987 recently. When I start the car, the automatic transmission works only in fist gear. After 10 minutes (always after 10), the transmission starts to work perfectly. Any suggestions?
The automatic transmission on my 1988 Integra is a bit dodgy at start-up as well. I can drive normally (all gears), but the car only revs to a maximum of 3000RPM. It's possibly a way of stopping damage to the transmission. When it is warm it runs and shifts correctly. (Approx. 5 minutes of driving)
Possibly your transmission might be on the way out and you might have to replace it, but I would get it checked by a professional or serviced by Honda (if you can afford it, $450AU Dollars for transmission fluid, filter and a few adjustments, what a rip!).
