Yes I allready searched and could not find any related problems w/ the JDM B18c5. As some of the post-ees know i changed my oil last week w/ good ole' mobil 1 5w-30, everything went just fine. After taking the car out after the oil change and engaging Vtec once or twice i came back w/ it wanting to idle at 1500rpms for about 10 to 15 seconds, that generally after that it will drop back down to 1k. I am not sure if i may have bumped something while taking off the oilfilter because i just went in from behind the intake manifold to get it w/ my hand. Yes i have checked the oil, and it is fine. The car is still idling like this, but shows no problem doing anything else ie. engaging vtec and etc. Please give me a shout and tell me your ideas.

Thanks

 

Have you checked your coolant levels and the thermo switch that controls the cold start process?

 

I have yet to check my coolant, as dumb as that may sound, i didnt even think about that. Where is the thermo switch and what do i do to check that? I'd also like to mention I am still running the stock civic radiator, instead of the integ. one which takes up all that empty space.

Thanks

check all the plugs that plug into the IAC, TB, and rear of the block, maybe you just bumped something, CEL????

 

bump bump......checked my coolant, was a bit low, filled it up, still idling weird. Check all plugs that i may have touched while removing the filter and found nothing out of place, any more suggestion guys?

 

bump, cause this is supposed to be a l337 honda forum.

 

takes some carb cleaner to your iacv. im sure that will fix the problem
