My 1986 Honda CRX is having trouble idling. I have replaced: distributor
cap, rotor, plug wires, plugs and primary fuel filter. I sat for 8
months. I don’t think that is a vacuum leak. When he drove it to my
house it had bad gas in it. Could that of messed up the o2 censor in the
exhaust manifold. It is the carborated version.

Idle jet is blocked due to goo.

Open up float bowl, remove gas, clean out. Unscrew idle jet, blow
compressed air through it.

Reassemble. Readjust idle.

Will need new air horn gasket.
