I have a h22a swap in my 93 civic coupe ex and the rpms seem to get stuck when I let my foot off the gas, I have to push the gas pedal a few times so it can idle normally, and it happens often. Is it the throttle cable, or something else? My friend told me just to replace the cable, but I think mine is fine. If I do buy a new throttle cable, should I get one for a 92-95 civic, or h22a prelude? I'm not sure what to do to fix the issue. Anybody run into this problem with the h swap into a 92-95 civic? Any help would be appretiated.

 

Check if the cable is adjusted too tightly at the throttle body. There should be about a half inch of slack at closed throttle.

 

If it is too tight, how would I loosen the cable?

 

Bump for my question.

there should be a holder for the cable on the im by the tb , a 10 or 12mm nut just un-tighten it a bit.
