letting off brake pedal surges idle speed wtf?!
This problem just started today, never happened before.
I have a 99 civic ex with the d16y8, and when I let off the brake pedal, the idle speed goes up from about 1000 to about 1500, and if I pump the pedal it climbs all the way up to 2k.
Some background:
This is my third post here, as I've been trying to resolve a rich condition/high idle. I thought I had it figured out when I disabled the FIAC (makes the car idle fast when cold, similar to the thermo valve in older civics). Started it up after that and did the re-learn procedure and it ran great for about 30 mins. After I took it for a short drive, the light came back on and now I'm getting a code 10, as opposed to the 45 I had before. Incidentally, both indicate a rich or lean condition. It smells like raw gas all the time andI'm about 100% sure there's no random misfires, so that leaves it with a rich condition.
Unfourtunately, I don't have a scope, only a multimeter, so pulling O2 voltage is completely useless.
Next, I cleaned out the IAC, which was pretty dirty, but didn't seem excessive. Anyway, that didn't solve anything. I still get the code 10. Though I'm curious what happened to the 45...
Just as an aside, I also checked the IAT and ECT sensors and they're both testing perfect according to that graph of resistance vs temp that's floating around the internet.
Vacuum leaks; I've tried pinching off every line in turn to see if anything changes, as this should indicate a leak. At one point the line leading to the purge solenoid caused it to change, but it's not doing that anymore, so I may have just pinched that one off while the solenoid was open.
I think that covers everything I've checked so far, and I'd love to hear some more input.

vac leak... u got power breaks?if so cheack for fluid on outside of boooster (eattin away paint) if so u got a LEAK IN THERE. which can also be a source of the vac leak
