I need help.. please respond... oh yeah i just swapped the engine replaced all the vaccuum hoses did most of the sensors and i can not find out whats wrong.....no performance parts on just exhaust and all motor.. please help...

i tried the idle control valve i have replaced it and it was not that... would that cause it to bounce back n forth or could it be the wire that goes to the idle control sensor because i just tried to remove that wire with the car start and it started to rev my engine til i had the wire all the way off then it went back to doing the bouncing idle.

Sounds like a vaccum leak, check the throttle body gasket/

it also sounds like it could be your fast idle thermo valve or fitv if your car is 92-95. my civic was doing the same thing and I change out just about everthing. I then took off the fitv and cleaned it out. that didnt change a thing. so I thought maybe it was bad. so I made a block off plate for the fitv and put it on. no more idle problems at all. my friends car was doing the same thing so I made another one and it fixed it to. I made several of these so if anyone is interested let me know. fitment is great. installs easy. includes block off plate, rubber gasket, and bolts to install. hit me up if you want one $20 johnzook@netzero.com thanks
