Default Idling Problem W/ GSR swapped EG

Well, I just picked up this hatchback and had to do quite a bit of cleaning up as whomever put the swap in..did a not so clean job.

Anyhow, I pretty much have everything done..and now the only thing I cant seem to figure out..is the idling problem Im having.

When starting the car, the idle is perfect...

After complete warm-up and driving, when I come to a stop..the idle will fluxuate and go VERY low..sometime causing the engine to turn off.

Its not throwing any CEL codes..and if it was a vacuom leak..wouldnt I have a consisting eratic idle?

Please help

Anyone have this problem?

Here is what motor and what cars its in.

2001 Integra GSR motor (using OBD2 stock harness)
into a 1992 Civic DX hatchback
Spoon Throttle body
Spoon Thermoswitch
Spoon Thermostat
Skunk Intake Manifold


Those are the only mods to the motor...


Thanks for any help provided

This happened on my piece of crap Toyota and I think all they had to do was adjust the throttle cable when the car was warmed up so that it idled at the correct RPMs.

Clean your IACV. Make sure TPS voltage is correct. Last thing, which will probably do it, is to adjust the idle screw a tad.

Clean the IACV and FITV, and also check the TPS. That should fix the problem.
