ok i figured my iac was either dirty or needed replacing so i cleaned it the first time and that was a no go so i replaced it and i still have the same problem it revs up and down to as high as 3k w/out me touching the gas so if anyone has any idea what i should look for or replace ur opinion would be great...thnx

check your vacuum lines if air comes in past the mass airflow sensor then it would make your car go a little nuts. hope it helps

bleeder valve is located on the thermostat housing. Look under your ignition coil, theres a little nipple.

ok besides the fluctuating idle when the car gets to operating temp it calms down but not rly it idles at like 1500rpm and it sounds like ive got cams w no tune its sounds friggin cool and itll make people think my car is a stupid fast na lude but its a stock lude and also its hard to cruise under 3k its like the car tends to jerk alot when i try to cruise its like i have to give it gas for it to actually have a comfortable ride so does that change ur guys perspective on what it might be????

 

[H23A1Vtec]

fitv

so i said screw it and bought a fitv yesterday, and since it was the only thing i havent bought for this car lol (new iac, tps, swapped throttle body) anyways so i took the old one off, and i kid you not it had fallen apart inside. it sounded like a baby rattle. wtf!!!!!! so i put my new fitv on there and i was good to go after that. no more a--hole idle crap.:bigthumb:

I try and document all this stuff for myself so it this situation ever happens, I know what to check, and have actually heard of it before.

If only all the noobs took your advice. Did you know that if you search chances are you'll find your answer? Apparently the noobs are still learning.

I would check for Vacuum leaks , dont start out using cans and cans of carb cleaner looking for your leak. Start out by Unhooking your PCV valve then plug the hose running to it completely. if you start your car and it idles fine then you have a vac leak( it works because Your PCV is basically a controlled Vac leak so blocking the hose makes up for a vac leak somewhere else.) If it is a vac leak look on your throttle body for a screw ( personally I have no idea where it is ) its the last thing listed on the link in this thead that says Idle problem look here first that solid posted . They say to screw it in completly, but this is again another controlled vac leak . I believe ( might wanna check the Shop book ) that it should be set 2.5 turns out. also this sounds stupid but have you messed with the Throttle cable at all? i had the bright idea to take all the slack out of mine, but that messes with the TPS just enough to give you problems sometimes. sorry for the long post but i had the same thing happen with mine , finally took it to a dealer and they found the problem

i have the same problem...any fixes yet?
