High Idle Y8 Mini Me Swap
Ok, I've searched and searched but for some reason I couldn't find anything =\ I just finished my Y8 Mini me swap (ZC Block, Y8 Head) Everything is plugged up, NO CEL's just high idle any ideas?
Could it possibly be one of the hoses from my evap system? I couldn't figure out where the house that went on top of my throttle body on the ZC head so I just plugged it for now
Edit:
Im using Y8 timing belt, Y8 Plugs, Y8 Wires, Stock Injectors, etc etc i followed a mini me swap i saw on here everything went fine but the idle issue

Re: High Idle Y8 Mini Me Swap
vacuum leak maybe? spray some carb. cleaner around the intake manifold if it revs up thats the area your leak is in.

Re: High Idle Y8 Mini Me Swap
Did you check your idle air control valve? Could be set high causing the idle to be abnormal. The helms manual will direct you on how to check/adjust your idle via the IACV.

Re: High Idle Y8 Mini Me Swap
have you driven the vehicle/let the vehicle warm up?
on cold mornings my car likes to idle at 1500-1800 and as soon as it warms up it drops down to 600-700

Re: High Idle Y8 Mini Me Swap
yeah i let the car warm up completely and drove it 8 miles home (i did the head swap at my friends house) and as i drove home i noticed that my rpm was still high in neutral as i dropped out of gear, but my butterfly is completely closed? maybe i need to adjust/bend the bracket since its off a Y8

Re: High Idle Y8 Mini Me Swap
Hey, whatever happened to the high idle issue. I'm having the same problem. The car I bought is having a high idle issue. It's a 93 Honda civic with a mini me swap. As far as what heads I do not know. Also the car redlines at about 5000 rpm's. I've let the car heat warm up and drove for about 10 miles and still has high idle at the end. Also car completely loses memory for radio as well as clock every time I switch the ignition off. Definitely faulty wiring somehow but I'm at a loss. Jumped into a project I knew nothing about. Sorry I know I sound like a noob, which I am but defenitly could use the help.

Re: High Idle Y8 Mini Me Swap
Found this thread by searching potential problems with mini me swap, high idle is either bad IAC or throttle cable bracket is not correct or a nasty vacuum leak... when doing these swaps.. make sure to clean the throttle body off VERY WELL.
