well i have a CEL 43, so i figured id try sea foam to see if that helps...i was pouring it into the brake booster line thats connected to the IM like everyone else does, it was going ok it didnt stall out like i was told it will than all of a sudden it started to stutter and shot up threw the line all the black crap...now it idles at 2500 what should i do... my friend who just a did a ls/vtec swap in a civic told me to swap ECU's cuz im runiing a p14 with a jdm h22 an di should run a p13... he keeps bugging me telling me it will work cuz he had 5 codes now he has none and hits vtec now....

 

Changing ECUs to solve a code where the stock ECU has codes is definitely not a good idea.

Check to make sure your vacuum hoses aren't messed up? That's all I can really think of.

 

Have you tried resetting your ECU to remove the code ? take out the **** radio fuse, or disconnect the negative off your battery for 15 mins. That will remove the code and perhaps your idle will return to normal.

 

I agree with resetting your ECU, but after you start it let it idle for a while (15-20 minutes to work all the crap out of your lines. Then if your idle is still high and your still throwing a code or codes, possibly your TPS sensor.

Good Luck

 

Get a p13 why are u running a p14. Thats gonna cause more problems if you dont switch that now. Then worry about the idle.

 

isnt the p14 for the h23? if you need a p13 i have one im trying to sell

He is running an H23 ECU, while he has an H22 motor in the car.

Why did you think Seafoam would help a code 43?! It's a fuel problem, usually the fuel filter or the O2 sensor. It makes no sense to think that Seafoam would fix that code.

 

haha, this thread went in a totally different direction than the title.
