seems like you need to change the oil in your tranny.

FITV

bubbles in coolant

vacuum leak

Never ever mention that you have an auto tranny on Honda Tech. It doesn't matter anyway. Blown lock up solenoids could cause slight idle problems, but not like you're describing.

thanks im goin through the list right now..

no vaccum leaks that i noticed

I just went out and got a new PCV valve.. what model do you guys have? (replacin this didnt help-old one was shot though.)

Flushing and draining the coolant now.. checkin for bubbles

Going to check voltage after the coolant gets back in

*in park it idles eratic.. and then i put my figer over the top hole in the Intake manifold...and the idle goes normal*

* also if i put it in drive it will go normal(without figer over hole) but it only goes normal with the heat on full blast.. and if i turn it to 1 2 0r 3 it idles erratic*

hopefully someone can help me?

I have the 1.6 ex vtec... how do i take of the part where i can tighten the screw all the way down like it stats in that write up? is that from a different engine.. ?
