I have a 96 civic cx with a 01 type r swap...Im running a turbonetics 60-1 .60 trim, dsm bluetop 450s, tial 38mm wg with 6lb spring, and im tuning with crome. My buddy made me a base tune to get me to the exhaust shop and to get it to the guy thats tuning it for me. My problem is that its surging really bad at idle and has a CEL. The CEL is a 1 which is a heated o2 or something so I got a different o2 and put it in but its still throwing a CEL 1, and surging really bad. All my sensors are hooked up, no leaks, and no vac leaks...does anyone know what could be the reason for the CEL, and the surging?

 

I would skip messing with it for now and go get it tuned.

safeguard the motor before dealing with an idle issue IMO

post back if you still have issues after the tune

 

Moved because you'll get more help here...

 

Make sure your CEL 1 isn't a code 10....
Don't skimp out on the tuning or you will end up with broken ringlands for sure.

 

Alright ill check it out...ive not drove it at all except when we put a decent tune to get it to the exhaust shop and so I can get it to the shop thats going to tune it for me...ive not even tried getting in boost, I wont until its tuned.

 

Ya know, the more I think about it I bet it is a CEL 10 because when I took my intake off to run the IC Piping I took out the IAT sensor and just left it unplugged because I didn't have anywhere to put it in the pipe...Ill see if putting it back in will take care of the CEL
