how long has it been since your swap?
if it's fresh try switching your iac plug with your map plug

ERIC1

like more than a month ago> wich one is the map plug?

heeltoehonda

What have you tried to fix it?
Is it flooding?
Have you tried taking your plugs out to see if they are soaked in gas?
Is the timing correct?
Also have you tried cleaning your FITV?

Just some suggestions. Need more info

sounds like a timing issue

civicek96

you may need to adjust you idle screw a bit....make you you follow procedure.
Engine fully warm up
disconect you AIC
turn car on (may need to hold gas for while to get it to idle)
Turn the idle screw out quarter turn out every 2 minutes
set you speed idle at 8500 rmp
plug AIC back on
disconect battery for 30 seconds

hope it helps>>>>

Try checking your spark plugs?

maybe a bad map sensor? i put the iacv plug on the map and it died when i pressed the gas.

ERIC1

who knows, gona swap some sensors.. my hboy said it might be the dizzy

heeltoehonda

^^ If your not getting any spark and you know it's not your wries or plugs, then yeah chances are it's your dizzy.

If you don't want to buy a whole new dizzy, remove your ECM from your dizzy, and take it to the nearest auto parts store and have it tested. If that tests ok, check your rotor and cap to see if it needs replaced. If that's ok, try replacing your ignition coil.

Hope this helps

ERIC1

yeah an maibe thats why it smells like gas?

heeltoehonda

It's a good chance. That's what my LS was doing. I replaced the ignition coil and that fixed it

Yesterday when i got home from work i swiched out the AICV and map sensor and while i was at it i got a new thermostat since it didnt have one (would take for ever to warm up) an this morning it turned off on me 3 times and then stayed on an drove it to work running fine dunno why its turning off???

ERIC1

actually my rotor looks like it needs to be replaced got a new one and the screw to it is like stuck on there couldnt take it off an gave up on it

heeltoehonda

If your rotor hasn't been removed in a while, the first time you take it off is difficult. Took me 15-20 one time. Just have patients
