Default This is my first time.....not a virgin in the motor swapping after today.

I'm doing my swap today. I'm saving 1,000 dollars by me and my buddy doing it. I have planned for everything. I just ask are there any little things i need to worry about like the throttle cable and things like that. It's a 96 LS goign into my 97civic. (It's legal in Texas). If you guys can think of any other things i need to beaware of let me know. thanks. oh btw. My friend has done his sawp before so it's not just two dummy's doing it. I have the knowledge and done lots of resaerch.

The may sound wierd but being organized and replacing those little nuts and bolts that are easily forgot about are what gets ya.

probably a sticking IACV (idle air control valve)
its usually on the firewall side of the intake manifold
pull it and clean it.

But don't **** it up. Those things are very sensitive and like to take a **** on you. They cost a pretty penny as well.
