Atmospheric Pressure can be replaced???? I don't know. I have not heard of such sensor. Thanks I will check it out. |

If always drive in high altitude suitation, you neeed to adjust the idle
speed to compensate. The idle speed screw is on the throttle body. "'Curly Q. Links'" > wrote in message ... > wrote: > > > > My car does not run well on uphill driving.

The engine management system compensates for altitude changes automatically. -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

You sure this isn't outdated advice?
I moved from sea level to a mile high with my 91 pgm-fi Civic LX manual transmission a few years ago. I didn't touch anything, based on my reading that the car's ECU blah blah makes the appropriate adjustments. Idle is fine; same ol' same ol'. Mileage continues at 40+ mpg for 3/4s of the year.

Please obtain the original service manual and you will undersdtand 1991
Accord don't have altitude compensator mechanisms. You need to adjust according to the factory manual.

One advice, you can spray carbon cleaner to clean the throttle body and
cylinder head from air intake. "Eric" > wrote in message ... > Please obtain the original service manual and you will undersdtand 1991 > Accord don't have altitude compensator mechanisms.

The Honda engine management system corrects for changes in air volume by comparing the inputs from the: Pressure Air (atmospheric pressure) Sensor Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor Temperature (Air) Sensor Using these it calculates the actual air volume entering the engine. If the volume should decline, as it would at higher altitudes, the ECU will compensate by reducing fuel delivery, and then maintain correct idle speed using the Crankshaft Position Sensor. The actual dedicated altitude compensation devices that were installed on carbureted cars are irrelevant in this age of computerized engine management. -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

My car is fuel injection. Of 3 sensors you mentioned, I could have problem of one of 3 sensors or 2 or all 3 that sometimes not easy to climb on uphill driving. Since sensor is an electronic device, my problem could be in malfuncationed electronic device. |

Never seen one die. >>Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor This is reliable device inside the vacuum box with a vacuum hose running to the throttle body and electrical wires to the ECU. The hose can be inspected. >>Temperature (Air) Sensor This is inside the throttle body, prone to buildup crud or destroyed by other means. Resistance changes based on air temperatures. You can compare it to a chart. Maybe Teggar has a chart for you. |
