Default idle problem after swap.......

ok b18b into eg
i also did a brake swap too front and rear

so after all that, what is the idle i should set to?
and right now, i think is at 1000.
the problem is when the car is at a stop, when i step on the brake, the idle jumps up and down......

why is that?

Got this from TOM:

this could be your problem.

Here's what you do:

Pull off the the fast idle valve from the bottom of your TB. It'll be held in by maybe 4 10mm nuts. It'll also have a coolant line on it or two, so disconnect those too.

Then take a phillips head screwdriver and take off the two screws on the end cap and look inside.

Inside there will be a big plastic plate that should be screwed into the FIV itself. Usually this spring-loaded plate comes unscrewed and messes up your idle. Take some RVT sealant (preferably Hondabond) and put it on the edge of the plastic disc. Screw it back in about halfway and reinstall the FIV.

Adjust the idle via the throttle mixture screw and that should pix the problem.

If the spring inside of the FIV is broken then buy a new FIV for like $40.00 or something like that from Honda.

Default

if that doesn't work check to make sure the TPS (throttle position sensor) is in the propper adjustment.
