just talked to someone on the phone said that when it jumps around when the clutch is in it is normal? srry if i am sounding like a retard on here but this is the first 5 speed i have ever owned. my buddy also said not to worry about the low idle he will just set the idle higher and that the belt has nothing to do with it but he will straighten it out for me. and that i am over reacting and to just chill every thing is cool, funny how i have known him for 4 years but i just don't believe it till i hear it from one of you guys who i don't know at all haha plz someone reply

Only if your foot isn't all the way off the gas pedal.

Usually it should drop to about 1000 rpms and hold there, and when you come to a complete stop, then drop down to idle speed, approx 750 rpm.

The low idle can be adjusted. There is an idle bleed screw on the throttle body and you can turn it out a little until the engine rpms come up. If that doesn't help you just might need a new idle motor.

where is the location of the loose pulley?

gsrhatch1126

o...first the loose pulley is because it is a b18c1 swap it is located towards the front of the car on the right if your standing in front of the car...the way it idles is when ever my foot is completely off the gas and i have the clutch in it revs it self up over and over just about every second vrooom...vrooom...vroom over and over till i let go of the clutch and give it gas but if i am moving and let go of the gas but don't press the clutch it won't do it.
so i think i may have figured this whole thing out frist off the pulley thing was me not knowing what i was talking about cause its a swap. no this revin' business and low idle i am told is because of the air intake and idle control, i was told when the previous owner got a JRSC put it on it leaked a little took it off got it rebuilt put it back on, blew it! took it back off. in all this commotion when taking it on and off, the air intake and idle control got dirty. I was told that honda's air intake and idle controls are very sensitive to dirt making it do this? now all this info is from the guy who sold the car to me and is offering to do the repairs for free if thats all it is am i being bullshited or does this make sense to you guys? well anyway i am going up to his place after school tom. so i will keep you posted on the outcome thanks for the help guys!

well just incase anyone really cares or someone else comes across this problem themselves: the problem was the airintake and idle control located onthe back of the intake mani between the firewall very simple to do once the car cools do just two bolts to remove it took about 7 mins. thats it once replaced solved all problems i was having

Darn, I read thru the whole post and was about to suggest you replace the IACV only to find out you already did.
