hey,,, i have a 97' teg. B18B. i got the valve lash adjustment and after i had a crazy idle. i tried to adjust the idle speed, and when i uncliped the connecter from the IAC my teg just turned off. i tried it twice. now i have a crazy idle and it feels like it wants to turn off. mostly when im at a stand still. latter i my engine light came up,, it was code 14- Electronic Air Control. any ideas.. thanks

 

Helms says after disconnecting IAC valve, to start the engine with the accelerator pedal slightly depressed. Stabilize the rpm at 1,000 then slowly release the pedal until the engine idles. With no load and IAC disconnected, idle speed should be 480 plus/minus 50 RPM. Hope that helps some

did you resette your ECU after the valve adjustment?

 

i tried i think i let go of the gas too quick im gonna try it againe thanks

 

yes i reset the ECU. twice and the second time seemed to work but well it didnt.

 

blkgsr24 it didnt seem to work. i dont know... im going to read up on it around the internet... thanks though.

 

blkGSR24. okay i have tired the idle thing. just cant get it to work i must be doing something wrong or i think i need to take it in whitch i dont want to do. i got it to idle okay but still studers. i have tried about everyday since the last post looks like im useing more gas now. but ill keep trying. any tips..

 

Have you checked the ignition timing before trying to set the idle? Turn the idle adjustment screw CCW a few turns to allow more air into the engine. This should help it idle. The car is also supposed to be warm with all lights and accessories turned off.

 

yes i tried that. i had to let more air in just to get it to run better. i let the car warm up to opp. temp.
