Default need help with idle issue badly.

So recently my cars been in the shop for the better half of 3 weeks. I have an idle issure that they cant explain it sort of just popped up out of nowhere one day while i was changing out vtec selenoids. The shop has took a look at everything the checked the dizzy, ignition timing, cam timing, injectors, fuel pressure regulator, map sensor, throttle position sensor, changed spark plugs, replaced ecu with known working one, and they say that all the wiring looks to be correct.


They recommend that i take it to a shop that specializes in diagnostics, but i just dont think there are any around.

Thats the problem, it runs really rich at idle and low rpm's. Im in dire need of some help due to this being my only car and im afraid to drive it to and from work in this condition quite frankly because i cant afford to fix any Major problems that may pop up with the motor running in this condition.

Any tips or advice is greatly appreciated. And if you fix my problem I'll pay you for the convinence.

yeah i checked all that. o2 sensor is fine.

Problem solved.
It ended up being the vtec selenoid. Apperantly the spring was in it wrong so vtec was constantly engaged.



very happy to hear my car running properly again.

appreciate the input guys.
