Idle at 1500rpm is not normal .... in fact it's too high. Normal idle should be around 700-850rpm.

1500rpm is okay during cold start only. As soon as the engine is in operating temperature, it should lower to around 700rpm. My B16A idles at 600rpm at operating temperature, and may go lowest to around 450rpm... but never experienced engine stall unless I myself handled the clutch poorly.

There are two screws to adjust idling. The nearest to the throttle body is for normal idle, and there's another one to adjust the idle during aircond on.

But i think your problem is most likely throttle body want to kong already.

well, I changed my battery. It's working fine now. I don't face any prob starting the engine at the moment. Prolly the old battery spoilt.

I also sent my car for RPM tuning, they tuned high, about 1.3k. Shd be all right, with aircon running idle, drop to 500. Just sometimes when I drive for a long time under hot weather, it drops to 100-200 and the car starts to shake.

By the way, anyone have any idea for the replacement of the thing in the photo I posted above?
increasing the idling rpm doesn't fix anything. normal rpm should be around 600-700rpm, even if u turn on aircond the rpm wont drop much

have u tried looking for parts at kedai potong?

get B16B (if he got extra bucks)

because B16B is actually a 1.8litre block. U can use B18C conrod+crank+pistons and have a 1.8litre engine with 1.6 road tax. thumbup.gif
