Remove the intake piping and start the car. Use your finger to block the hole inside the TB for the IACV. Does it still pulsate? Get a smoke machine (or a friend who vapes), and smoke test your engine looking for vacuum leaks. Just to eliminate a faulty code reader, is your CEL on? Does it work?

OP.. Also, remove and clean the throttle body. It was tough to concentrate through that ****-storm of words you jumbled together in you original post but, I didn't see where or if you mentioned cleaning the TB.

Or do it Scotty Kilmer style and puff a cheap cigar through the brake booster vacuum line with air intake hose temporarily sealed off. Better yet, smoke yourself an Arturo Fuente 8-5-8 Natural Lonsdale. I tried this with my Civic about six months ago and it works very well.. both the test and the Natural Lonsdale.

you're useless as a result. you can't even be bothered to read what was or wasn't done,but you suggest something.
thanks,but no thanks as you certainly are not much of a technician based on that alone.
try lawn dart advice or something. it's simpler and requires much less reading...i'm sure.
