Non stop idling
Hey there I have a 96 civic hatch thats been sitting out for a couple of months now. I just got it running again and took it out for a test run and when I got back and parked it my car suddenly started idling non stop. I turned off the car and started it again and it began to idle. I waited it out for a couple of minutes and still idles. Any ideas?

Re: Non stop idling
Idling means the engine is running at the minimum set idle perimeters when the throttle body isn't open
I think you need to use a different term to describe your problem

Re: Non stop idling
Well I removed the IACV and cleaned and its a lot better now. It doesn't idle high as it use to. Now it still has abnormal idling but like I said doesn't surge as bad as before. Im thinking since its been sitting for a couple of months or more that I just need to drive it around. What do you think?

Re: Non stop idling
Oh damn I actually forgot that, silly me. I will do that once I buy some coolant tomorrow and will update you and see if that did anything. Thanks I really appreciate it guys.
edit: So even if you take out your IACV you still have to bleed out your cooling system? Since its basically an open air component?
