I need help i put in a skunk2 intake manifold and the type r throttle cable and nothing else and now my 97 gsr idles at 3000. Any help would be great thanks

 

did you check the idle positoning screw? also vacum leak? also is your throttle cable shorter than the stock one? that may cause ti to be pulling the throttle body open

 

cool man thanks for the tips ill check that stuff out

 

I agree..

 

because. i believe the type r has better throttle response. this amy be caused by a shorter cable am i correct? cus the less slack the more chance that the throttle cable is shorter causing the throttle to be pulled open to a ammount causing the idle to jump up

 

so do i just have to play with the cable slack and adjust it while the car is running to find the proper idle?

 

first check the idle positioning screw than check to see if you have a vacum leak and thant he throttle cable. take the easiest one being teh screw and work from there

 

i played with the throttle pos screw and it made the car idle at 1500prm but if you touch the pedal or move the throttle pulley it revs up to 2000 then very harsh bursts from 1500 to 2000 rpm and just keeps doing that

 

so is it like a spiratic idle? like it will sit at 1500 and jump to 2grand and back down and back up? cus ti sounds liek a vacum leak

 

yes it is a spiratic idle from 1500 to 2000 but it only does that after you touch the gas pedal other wise it just sits at 1500

 

Prolly a vacum problem. I agree with these guys

 

Vacuum leak. Huge one is my Guess. 3000idle is WAY too high

 

aicv!

 

oooppppsss. meant iacv!

 

its so weird everything was fine did a skunk2 intake mainfold brand new iacv new tb gasket and hondata intake mainfold gasket car was fine then a week later put on a type r throttle cable and now it has a crazy 1500-2000rpm idle

 

ya check for a vacum leak

 

ok found the problem on the throttle body under the throttle pulley there is a little 7mm stud that the pulley rests on i moved it down a little and ta da no more crazy idle. Thanks for all the help guys i would have been f*&^ed without the help thanks again

 

np. good luck with your teg int he future

 

that's funny I was just about to say that....cause I had this issue about two years ago when I did the exact same mod......Good Work bro
