Default Idle question

sorry if this has been posted before. i just did a swap from a d15b8 to a d16y8. i started the car up lastnight and the idle fluxuates up and down from 200rpm to 2500rpm. i hvae been told it is a vacuum leak, but i have blockedoff every line i can find. someone also told me it could be because i dont have any coolant in it(the cross tube on the back of the motor is leaking at the water pump, so i didnt put coolan in it). can someone help?

Replace what?
Its either a vaccum leak. Your fitv. Or your iacv.
I put money on the fitv.

also make sure all your grounds are good. no leaks in vaccum, no air pockets in the coolant lines.

i just put the motor in last night. and we just started it to see if it would start. the water line on the back of the motor that connects the wtaer pump to the water outlet is busted so the coolant just drains right out. i know it needs coolant, but i didnt think no coolant could cause the idle being fucked up. i got the new water line and im putting it on tonight and i will see how it goes
