ive sprayed carb cleaner everywhere on that diagram only spot iodle goes down when i spray it is when i spray it right on the gasket thats inbetween the throttle body and intake manifold.......everywhere else i didnt get any response....imma go to ACURA dealer and buy BOTH a GSR tb gasker and an ITR TB gasket hopefully that will solve my prohblem....thanks for the diagram https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

Its most likely your throttle body gasket. When I installed my ITR intake manifold I had a throttle body gasket for an ITR, and it was alot shorter then the B16. My car was idleing at 4000. I could run my finger along where the throttle body and intake manifold met and felt where the air was coming in from. I went out and got a gasket for a Del Sol and worked fine.
