    I have this exact car and year and since i got it at 269k miles it has had a wavery idle at cold starts but as soon as the thermostat opens it goes away and runs normal.
    I got a cold start idle air control valve off a car from a junk yard and the normal isle air control valve since its a hard part to find and expensive for a honda 😅
    I also am doing everythi you just did to yours.
    Mine leaks from the distributor O ring still but ive stopped the valve cover from leaking with a new gasket and adjusted my valve lash since it sounded horrible lol
    These cars are awesome for a new mechanic to learn on
    Quick edit: the distributor on these cars has nothing yo do with the timing too lol, just spark and stuff.
    The only way to wack out your timing is to get an ecu thats been tuned so the narks are not neccessary

    With the VSS, he doesn't mention the most important thing, that is the little square drive pin that can fall out when you're fitting the main unit.

    Where did you buy your parts from?

    What made u change the speed sensor ? Last night I was driving and my speedometer went out , and my transmission won’t go past first , so I think the speed sponsor will help , or transmission position sensor ?

      What kind of car do you have? For this one, the speedometer wasn’t working and it was causing the check engine light to come on. The transmission still shifted like it should though.

      It could be the transmission speed sensor

      Sometimes the sensor isn’t the issue. Some guys have seen shorted wires to the harness for the vss, as well as damage to the plug. Trouble shooting electrical can be a pain, you have to be patient. Diagnose every possibility issue until you find the source. Sorry that’s not much help, but it’s the next direction you have to go.

      Me too, though I'm not 100% sure I fitted it correctly.
