I have a 1981 Honda Accord LX 3-door with the 1751CC CVCC engine. It has a 3-barrel Keihin carburetor (2 for the main combustion chamber, 1 for the CVCC precombustion chambers).
In the summer of 2000 I installed a K&N Filtercharger reusable high-performance air filter. At about the same time I also had to replace the carb floats.
Now, when winter 2000 came rolling around, I noticed that right as the car is first coming off the fully-closed choke position, if it's 40-45 degrees or below out, the car tends to die if you're revving it then let off the gas (for example, putting in the clutch coming up to a red light). If I use the brakes and don't push in the clutch until the motor gets down to 1500 or so, it'll drop to 600-ish RPM but not die. If I push in the clutch at higher RPM than that, it'll drop to 600 then to 0 almost immediately.
It only did this if I pushed in the clutch when the choke was in its "just coming off full choke" position, and only if it was cold outside. The problem went away in the spring.
Now it's getting to be winter again and the problem's back.
My question: Does the less-restrictive K&N filter have anything to do with that?
