HELP WITH IDLE CANNOT FIND FIT VALVE
helloi have a 2000 em1 and i just recently started to have idle surges. i cvhecked online and they said to check the FITV. when i took off my intake and car is warmed, i looked inside my throttle open area and saw that there was only ONE hole on the left hand side. i plugged the hole and my car died. does this hole go to the IACV? i detached the iacv and wiped the srceen down with water. still same problem. i tried checking all hoses for vacuum leaks. couldnt find any although i will replace them later today. also under my throttle body there is NO FITV. its just the TB thats it! please help

also, sometimes the idle needle goes up and down and sometimes it doesnt but i can still hear the engine's idle surge up and down when the needle stays stable

Re: HELP WITH IDLE CANNOT FIND FIT VALVE
is there any other way to check for vacuum leaks other than trying to feel for air coming out of the hoses? so far everything looks good, what other hoses should i be checking besides the brake booster vacuum line? and is there a more efficient way to check for leaks?
