Vacuum leak.

 

i have looked. if so, how do i find it?

 

have you tried just adjusting your idle down?

 

no, how do i do that?

 

its probably a vacum leak or your idle. Did you use a new gasket?

 

throwing any Check engine lights?

 

yes new gasket

 

get some brake or tb cleaner and start spray on the vaccum hose connections and the manifold gasket. doing this one connection at a time. if you have a leak the engine will rev up.

 

Did you cross pattern when you put the manifold on? and did you scrap all the old gasket off?

 

hmm maybe your new intake manifold is mouting your throrrle cable awkward. like maybe its pulling it farter back than it needs to be. know what i mean?

 

I scraped all the old gasket off and I bolted from the middle out, to spec. and then took it back off to try to fix the problem. I put on new gaskets again and used anaerobic.

I had to adjust the throttle cable. I have a vafc so I now im not giving it any gas and TPS it adjusted perfectly.

i am throwing a speed sensor code but the is resiant.

i well try the brake cleaner but idle is so F'ed up it might be hard

Is it passable to simple adjust the idle? thanks

 

did you properly bleed the coolant after the install?

I had a really hard time getting it to fill. im trying to bleed it right now but im not 100% sure im doing it right. all i have to do is lit it warmup with the cap off?

let it run until the thermostat opens.if your motor has a bleed screw,then put the cap on and slightly loosen the screw.leave it open until no more air bleeds out-only coolant.

where is the bleed screw? if i have one, its a jdm b16a

here is a pic of where it is on a US Del Sol VTEC.it's part number 10.if memeory serves,it takes a 12mm wrench.looks like a bolt,but with a "spout" in the middle.

not sure if the JDM B16s had them in the same location,or at all.

it didnt look like any air came out only a little trikel of coolent and idling at 1600
