anyone

 

need info

 

thanks for all your help you guys are so helpful

 

The first thing to check when u get code 22 is to make sure u got plenty of oil, if u do, then make sure the connector is connected to the sensor, the pressure switch could also use cleaning. Just unbolt it and clean the filter. As for ur idle, u could try cleaning ur IACV or FITV, maybe some other maintenance stuff, check ur spark plugs and see if they're running good or not. Also, do u have the idle problem when the car is cold or warm?

 

this is when the idle is warm. I didn't think that 96 and newer had a FITV. had new plugs,wires,cap,rotor put in about 4 years ago. Last summer I cleaned the iacv

 

So ur Vtec is working now and u just got the idle problem? Take out ur spark plugs and look at em, see if they're black or white or anything else. spark plugs are a good way to tell how ur engine is running. I used to have a surging idle when my car was running rich. have u checked the timing recently too?

 

i'll check plugs. Have no idea when timing has been checked i would guess never
