Idle Surge

[Joel]

My car has Intermittant Idle surge, It will either surge or idle at what i'm guess is around 2k(my car doesn't have a tach). Me and drifterextreme checked outthe motor a bit yesterday, but We couldn't find anything. If anyone has any info, or would like to help me out, much would be appreciated. Flood fighting and de ricing a car at the same time sucks!

Just use the car to stop the flood. Its the obvious solution.

Anyway, as to your question, check the idle control valve. I don't know what they call it in hondars, but there will be a valve that controls the idle.

check for vac. leaks then adjust your idle air control valve screw.

check the idle sensor that may work

I'd say check your idle air control valve. I took mine off and when it is cold it idles high until it warms up. And when I first stop at stop signs or lights it idle high for a little bit, then drops really low.

When you say surge you mean the idle hunts up or down? Odds are it's the TPS.

The kid joel bought the car from put on a y8 intake manifold. To get the manifold on he cut out 3 small areas on the flange and I think it is leaking at one of the cut outs. Also the intake air control valve is not pluged in(there is no plug for it),he has some sort of valve bolted to the fuel rail that went from his IM - valve(it has a broken end for a hose) - pcv then it was just hanging there. There is no check engine light so I would just switch back to the stock manifold and see if that fix's the vacume leak. anyone have suggestions?

well im sure that would be the case then....its not like that intake manifold really helps so just swap the stock one back on if you gots one.
