Its 1 95 GSR...Idle goes from 1000-2000 all the time. doenst stop. when I jump the comp for codes it blinks these #'s in this order... 3,3,4...why 3 twice? and it is 3 twice, theres deff a break between 3's. I know 3 is a map but why twice? has anyone else had a similar prob? Ive dumped so much into guess work and and running low on funds. Im slowly hating this car thank you

 

hey man i here to rescue from these blues. i had a swapped ls/vtec civic fullt built w/ the same problem. i got it to stop the crazy idle by checking all of the vacuum lines. I had a lot of leaks. check that out tell me how it works

 

yup.. sounds like vacuum lines. Had a the same problem in my old LS.

 

remove the air duct, from the t/b, now while the car runs plug the hole on the t/b (the buttom one) it the idle settles down, then your iac valve came apart. remove the t/b then remove the cover for the iac valve (its the valve on on the buttom of your t/b)screw the valve back in place, then re-install everything.

 

The vacuum lines were all sprayed by my mechanic, and we couldnt get anything out of that test. If its a vacuum leak how come the codes read a bad throttle positioning sensor, or iacv? Should I just break down and do diagnostics? Well I wii try that throttle body thing. Thanks for all the input. It is helpfull. Any more ideas Im open. Ill let you know how that other IACV/TB thing works...Also does anyone have any stuff like that for sale?

 

I had the EXACT same problem w/ my GSR!!! In fact its still a problem...The damn throttle body it sucking air thru the gasket!!! Its a big job to fix, and I havent had the time to do it...and 4 a 3rd car...not. good luck

 

Okay, after jumping the ecu for codes, my lights blinking, 3 then 7...so its sying map and throttle position sensor..could both be bad or could 1 effect the other to read bad? either way does anyone have or know anyone whos willing to sell these sensors for a fair price? I need them a.s.a.p. I jsut hope the ecu is right on this one...Im already 300 in testing
