First off, i'm running a non-vtec b18 in my integra. Its not idling properly. I hear the IACV is most likely it but i've heard a lot of other stuff and i'm just tryin to find someone who has experienced the same issue and repaired it.

When the engine is cold, it doesn't want to stay running. I have to pump the gas a couple of times or it wants to die. Also, when it gets to the point where it'll stay running and I put my foot on the gas the engine hesitates like its flooding. After it is warm, of course, everything seems to be fine.

Another weird thing with the idle after the engine is warm it'll bounce between like 700rpm and 1500rpm in a pulsing pattern. It requires me turning the car off and back on to get that to stop and even then every once and awhile it doesn't help it.

Something else completly unrelated is that i'm getting this weird clunk when breaking. i hear it mostly when in drive-through at wendy's or somethin. I hear it most there cause my window is down and I'll accelerate and then brake abruptly and thats when it happens most. I've heard this can be the lower A-frame bushings but i've checked them all front and back and they look fine, is it possible they may need to be replaced even if they look alright? i've checked every suspension component and all my breaks and nothing seems to be wrong. I've gotten to the point where i assume i need to wait for it to break more before i'm going to know what to repair...

Lastly, i need to replace my steering column cause I caught a few kids trying to boost my ride (lucky for me i took my ecu inside every night cause it was a bad neighborhood and my car has been stolen completly before) Anyone know where to find good used steering columns other than the obvious (ebay...cant ever find any full assemblies, wrecking yard never has any for my car that are salvagable and i've tried browsing through differant pars websites and cant find any) And also some kind of clever anti-theft device that i havn't discovered yet. Even my buddy with a removable steering wheel got jacked under a light parked in a pretty populated hi-traffic area. Its like you just cant beat those goddamn thieves. Anyway, any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

 

Year of your LS? It sounds like the IACV is done. Could be a fast idle valve, if your engine has one (I think only OBD1 has that).

Best bet for the rack is at the dealer. Pricey, but you know it's straight.

Search for a kill switch. They are very easy to install, very effective and very difficult to find.

PS: try posting with less words. Words intimidate people into not reading posts.

 

LOL, i'll remember that. I like to speak my language clearly so i talk a lot, i'll leave um short from now on. Kill switch is a good idea, i'll be doing that for sure soon...and what exactly is the "fast idle" valve?
