Default H22 Crx High Idle

I have a 91 si with a JDM H22. When I start the car it idles at 4k rpm. When it gets warmed up it will idle between 2-4k.

I cleaned out the idel air control valve. It solved the orginal problem of the bouncing idle but now its doing this.

It seems like I cant get all the air out of the coolant, and over the last few days its begun overheating. I have a new thermostat but its raining and cant put it on now. Any ideas?

dont sweat it until you get rid of all the air in the coolant. It's bad practice to troubleshoot a problem while another problem exists.

If the rad is lower than the engine (making it hard to bleed the coolant) than jack the front end in the air. my engine towers over my rad.

also, read up on the FITV (fast idle thermal valve) those can be a royal PITA on all older honda engines.

other than that, vacuum leaks.
