Default engine idle problems!!! please help

whats goin on everybody?? here is my problem i just put an h22a4 in my integra and its idleing really [freak]ed up!! when i crank my car up it will idle low so when i adjust the throttle cable it will pick up some, then when i give it a lil bit of gas the rpm will jump to about 3000 and stay there but then when i tap the gas pedel slightly it will idle back down to about 700-1000rpms or some times lower then that???

you need to leave slack in your throttle cable. do not adjust your idle that way it will freak the computer out. search in the faq there is a post that tells you everything to check.

is there any check engine lights on? also yea do not tighten teh cable all the way leave it some slack. also youre Tb cable might be sticking too or the throttle cable plate might be sticking spray some wd 40 on the throttle cable plate.

Try doing this then when the rpm's stay around 3k or so trying pulling the gas pedal back up towards you. If you do this and it moves back some and the idle drops down most likely the cable or throttle plate is getting hung up somewhere.
