the cel 14 has been on for a few days now...so i swapped the iacv from my old d15b7...but the car still has the light even after i reset the ecu....what it does now since the cel came on is it will not start unless i apply some gas..and i gotta keep givin it a little gas until it finally warms up..if i take my foot of the gas at all while its still warming up the revs drop to like 4-5 hundred and it just dies..but after it warms up it runs fine..so im not sure if its the actual iacv thats the problem..because the one from the old motor was still good..what else do you guys think it could be...maybe a loose wire or vaccum leak

 

check the vacuum lines that connect to it. Also try to clean it out because if there is an kind of water in it, It will throw it off.

Umm are you sure..the last time I checked those were water lines...sounds to me like your using the wrong wires going to it. They are very easy to confuse since there are so many of the exact same plugs on a dpfi.

 

no i dont have dpfi injection...i got a 1st gen. b16 in it...there are only two vaccum lines that i can see that go into it...one of them is connected for sure..the other ihave to route today to see where its going...bump it up before work!

 

so you never had dpfi, has the code 14 been there since you installed the b16a or just started or what?

 

well it is a dx model so yeah i guess at some point it did have dpfi..i didnt do the swap and i dont know much about wiring...is there any way to check if the iacv isnt getting any power??
