Hi, my hatch is idling about 1100 and i want it to be around 800... I'm trying to smog the car so I wanna get everything ready before then...

The motor is a jdm d15b... the car came with a z6 intake manifold, I tried to adjust the idle with the screw on the throttle body and its all the way in... and still idling at 1100ish... Today I cleaned the iacv cuz I had flux idle... and it was annoying so I cleaned that... and thats fixed but it's still idling high and I wanna know if there is any other way to lower it...

Thanks in advance for any info.

Is your Base Idle Positioning bolt at factory spec?

Truthfully I have no idea what that is lol, i just recently got this car... and i'm still working everything out on it that i know... how can i check this? The intake mani that I'm using is from a non-vtec car, could that make any diff at all?

There's a small bolt that sits under your throttle cable at the coil. The coil sits on it and that's where your base idle is. You tighten it, more idle, loosen, less.

Loosen the nut with the car on and loosen the bolt with an allen head. Set the idle to where you like.

so I have to take off the throttle coil and its under that?... hmm ok I'll try that tomorrow
