Hi

I posted about high idle rpm awhile ago, someone told me to check a valve and clean it and i did...
Buuuut i was so smart i put it away for a while and when i was going to put it together again i forgot how it was supose to stand, so was wondering if anyone knows how ?

This is where i found the valve




Should it be like this?


Or this?


Personally i think the first one is right, but im not 100% sure so i was hoping someone here knows which one it should be ?
Before i try it out

And is that the right valve too ? for the high idle rpm problem ?
Someone said i should check the FITV and IAVC valve not sure if thats the one...

 

what the hell engine is that?

 

i wish i knew
i tryed finding out but no one seems to know... its a 1.6l 16v though, a guy i talked to said it goes under the name Brown Top in the USA, but he didnt know what model it was...
All i know is its a 1.6l 16v DOHC maybe an early edition vtec

 

What does the block say? ZC maybe?

 

where on the block can i check this ?

If im not mistaken its ZC yeah, its been awhile since i asked about what engine it was but if i remember correctly the guy i spoke to said it was a ZC and that it was called brown top in USA, didnt say much more then that

 

looks to me a dohc ZC engine to me.

To the left of the header, on the block, by where the transmission and block meet.

 

looks like a brown top zc which i think is from a 86-87 integra, but IDK

much possible, im not sure if its the original motor in the car, when i tok off the transmission to change clutch i noticed a date on the transmission case saying 2004, not sure if the whole engine is swapped or just the transmission though, bought the car about a month ago...
But as you said it looks like a brown top ZC, same as a guy i talked to said... but i will try and see if i can find the engine number tomorrow morning to dark outside now :\

 

intake manifold looks weird.

 

almost sure it is an 86-87 integra engine/engine bay. what valve is that you are talking about?? where are you trying to install it?

 

If you look at the first picture i painted in a red circle, theres a few hoses connected on the intake manifoil there, and beneath them theres a valve house connected, its a cap there with 2 screws i just loosen and then i see this black "screw" (the plastic thing at bottom right at the first valve picture) then its just to take out the valve.

Im not sure what the name of the valve is but i think its either called IACV/IAVC ? or FITV. A cold engine valve or something...

 

hey man i no what this engine is its a zc 1.5/1.6 si dohc brown top comes out of crx/civic 1984-1987 the engine code is on the back of the block under the intake have you managed to fix this valve i can look at one on my motors and get back to you on it

 

ahh, thanks thats why i couldnt find the engine code..
no i havnt fixed it yet, its still laying here in pieces hehe, would be great if you could check it out for me
btw, do you know if thats the FITV or IAVC valve?

Edit: BTW i have the 1.6l type, do you know if its vtec ?
