Re: Jdm B16a swap, wont hold steady idle...help.
I'm having the same problem too - my post here - https://honda-tech.com/forums/showth...9#post45464929
I will try switching the TPS and MAP plugs if possible - if you've not done it already, try purging the coolant system of air - didn't work for me, but it has cured a fair few of others issues. I got a new TPS from your side of the pond - £10.76 GBP delivered when everyone over here was looking for £65 GBP on ebay and don't get me started on the dealer prices! I have put the original IACV back on now as it makes no difference to the idle - unless of course that the one I got (secondhand) has exactly the same issue as the old one - new one from a dealer is over £400 GBP!! Good luck anyway guys and keep us posted, as will I. Cheers Darren |

Have you reset the ECU after all the replacement and maintenance you have done?
Maybe alternator is bad? It seems like your idle moves around when there is electrical load in your alternator like fan etc I'm having somewhat similar problems with my si But it only happens when ac is on Good luck |

well I cleaned the IACV, and throttle body, PCV. Replaced the coil and roter, but kept the cap and wires. I cleaned and regaped the plugs back to .044. and put in a larger fuel pump. and checked all the wires to be in the proper place.
All this did clear up the a few small issue but still the idle will drop down from 800rpm to 300 then back up to 800 and hold. i have so far done the same too, hopefully by replacing the TPS it'll fix my problem tho, i also plan to replace my throttle body gasket. my idles from 800ish to 300ish too but sometimes itll go from 800ish to like 1300ish... |

Cheers Darren I've noticed replacing the IACV doesnt work most of the time, It always comes out to be something else and the IAVC are expensive too to replace. Goodluck on fixing yours n ill keep posted on how mine goes. |

Check your coolant. If its low, the car will idle like that.

Make sure that when you get the new TPS that you calibrate it properly. It should be @ .5 Volts under "0%" throttle and around ~5V under WOT.

yea becuase when your dropping the motor in and lining it up with the mounts, it usually tilts back, and since the TPS is on the back of the intake manifold, it gets crushed on the firewall

Re: Jdm B16a swap, wont hold steady idle...help.
Cleaning your iacv doesn't always work...motor of the IACV may still be bad...bust out the ohm tester...touch leads to the iacv motor terminals...should get between 10-15 ohms...if not...than the motor is bad or going bad. This would make it respond slowly to any load placed on it or not at all. TPS sensors rarely go bad...but I guess It's possible... check to make sure its .5 closed 4.5 wot. Best bet is probably to try a whole new t.b. or borrow an IACV from a friend that works to find out before shelling out $$$

Thats weird, most time if your idle jumps its due to a vacuum leak. Have you tried to spray carb cleaner around the gaskets while the car is running?

Re: Jdm B16a swap, wont hold steady idle...help.
Spray brake cleaner between the tb and the manifold if it changes you have a bad gasket do this also where the manifold meets the head and this will determine a possible bad gasket
