i have a feeling this is my cam timing setting the idle so low...i advanced the ignition timing.....but imma ask all the h-t'ers......i have a b16 in my hatch....right now im running the p06 ecu...yes thats the non vtec lx ecu.....i have a chipped p28 but the chip was supposed to come in like a month ago and didnt....anyways my car idles at around 1-200 rpms......i cleaned the IACV and when i give it gas the idle trys to drop more...sometimes shuts off.....thanx h-t

 

bump, i'd like to know this as well

 

someone...cmon i have been waiting like 45 minutes for my car to warm up and idle right

 

Isn't there a manual idle adjusting screw (bolt) on the TB? My d16 has it, and I'm pretty sure that most hondas also have it.

 

yeah there is but when my car warms up it is fine it idles fine but at idle when cold it idles around 100-200 rpms...shaking violently

 

IACV issue? Does the idle surge at all?

 

no idle surge no vaccuum leaks...

 

up for an answer

 

are you sure its 1 to 2 hundred???
anyways try to put the right ecu in there first
then check for a vaccuum leak...

 

when i put the p28 in it idles the same...but its only when cold....any ideas?>

 

up up up

 

cmon h-t daamn

a vacuum leak will cause the idle to go up

 

it could be anything..
1.gasket
2.vacumm leak
3.timing
4.clean your t.b. w/ t.b cleaner

 

so it could be the cam timing....?

 

not 100% sure on this but if your motor is a obd0 it has a cold idle vacum valve on the front of the intake mani that could have something to do with it.

 

aright i got vtec on a switch and when the car is cold and i flick it on it sounds like a mad ******* wild cam... check your wiring or unplug the vtec solinoid wire its the green clip on the exhaust cam by the distributor.

i dont know why it would do that but it sounds like the vtec is on when its cold. also try unplugging your idle air controll ( its on the back of the intake mani ) and adjust the idle screw on the thorttle body ( screw it in to lower screw it out to raise ).

also make shure you do it when its cold to check if it makes a difference

 

yeah i dont have vtec either im running the p06 ecu....how do you hook up the "vtec switch" anyways.....and the motor is obd1...thnax
