Re: idle prob (snezze21)
this seems to be a common problem lately, i have been dealing with this for several months now trying to figure it out, i have since cleaned the iacv, replaced the alternator, and done a full tune up, with minimal changes, my future plans are to do a valve adjustment and most likely buy a brand new iacv and see where that gets me

Re: idle prob (snezze21)
maybe I am wrong but I am pretty sure that that line right above the 0 line is 500 rpm not 100. so for a stock civic engine where idle is supposed to be like 650 I wouldn't worry about it unless the idle is rough. you could just adjust it.
but as I said I could be wrong and it never hurts to clean out ur IACV and ur throttle body.
