Hi guys,

Long time lurker, first time poster here. I need your advice on an issue that recently came up after I installed a JRSC on my 98 Civic EX (D16Y8 ).
When we started the car after the install, a few things went wrong:

- It idles at about 1500-1700 RPM and stays in that range after warming up.
- Whenever we tried to drive it and engaged first gear and depressed the clutch and gave it gas, it would drop the RPM and the car would die. It felt like the engine would bog down and stall out.
- I believe, if I remember correctly, that I couldn't really rev it and it would still die.
- Also, there is a somewhat loud belt squeal sound but after checking the belt, we can't figure out why. We checked tension on the AC and PS belts and they seem fine and not too tight.

Now, my buddy and I are thinking that it could be:
- an IACV issue (we didn't replace the two o-rings on it as we forgot to pick some up, so it's still on the old o-rings)
- a vacuum line issue.

Hopefully you guys will have some advice to lead us in the right direction as this is unfortunately my daily (and only) driver.

Thanks in advance.
