ok ive been having this wack nuts problem with my civ for a while now and im bout ready to die. its does this gay erratic idle business. i did a mini me swap with all the trimmings blah blah blah. this started happening befor that. i bought the car and it was fine. then i put this intake that i took off of a tiburon, and then like a day later BAM! erratic idle!!!!!!!!!!!!! ive changed the iacv and the tps, also checked for leaks and no leaks. WTFFFFFFFFFF is going on ? please post soon, im contemplating pushing the car off a cliff and pissing on it.

 

Bro, did you reset your ecu?

 

how do i do that.

 

disconnect the neg side of the battery and wait about 2-5 min, then connect it back

 

Are you one of those ingenious people who say you have to reset the ECU after installing an exhaust or air intake so the ECU can "relearn" the car with the new intake on it.

That's a load of BS.

 

should i reset it after a new cam, cam gear, exhaust intake, header hiflo cat,iacv and tps?? or is it a waste of my 5 minutes?

 

maybe try cleaning the FITV?

 

what the ***** is a fitv?

You need a tune after that.

If you're running a stock ECU with an aftermarket cam, you must be brain-dead.
