... Have you replaced the Plug wires, Dizzy cap or rotor.... Those are all cheap parts that go bad and would cause a miss..... I dunno why you replaced the throttle body though, thats a bit random, the TPS is the only thing that goes 'bad' on it...

 

the trottle body was tamped with and as for the the ignition i know almost everthing in the dizzy was changed cap, rotor, icm, coil sorry for not listing these they were replaced by the previous owner it used to have a problem before i bought it th idle would go up to about 3k then go back down and do it repeatedly while driving i dont know about the wires they look ok but what the specified resistance through them??

 

8-10k ohms per foot is usually a good rule of measure for plug wires.

 

thanks i will check them now

 

all wire came back between 8-12K ohms which means there ok what else can i check could the set screw be loose on the cap??

 

Check your ignition timing is the next thing I'd do.

 

had it checked its fine

 

I think i found the source of the problem one wire going to the icm was not connected properly the connector was merely sitin on top off the little tang on the icm i reconnected it correctly could this have been it

 

still runs like crap this is by far the worst excuse for a honda ive ever owned. also noticed alot of wires insulation splitting
