Re: crazy idle jump (frankenstienEk)
yeah I know just what the problem is I had the same problem. Theres this thing right under where the throttle is connected to the intake pipe caled the Fivc or something I dont remember but you take out the 3 bolts and take it off and take off the backing and screw the plastic thing in there tight so when the coolant warms up it closes properly. If you want some more info on it cause I think its the problem let me know.

Yea, your problem may either be the FITV (Fast Idle Thermo Valve) or possibly a vacuum leak of some sort. There are a lot of things that it could be, so good luck troubleshooting

The honda shop calls it a EACV, which is the same as a IACV, it needs to be cleaned out or replaced. I just bought a whole new intake manfold on ebay for 60$ and just used TB off it, and put it on mine. Clean it first however. After driving my car with the new TB, after about a week it went away. So the results might not be right away. but now its good
