Icon6 1997 Civic Ex (D16Y8) Idel Problems

I replaced all of the sensors and also the TPS but now when I start the car and let it Idel it surges at idel around 4-500 RPMs at a constant speed going up then down then up then down. Any help related to this would be awesome. The engine is a Y8 Vtec.

Vacuum or intake air leak?

Bleed cooling system?

Adjust idle speed?

CEL codes?

I have seen in the past that if the first one fails, it will throw a code for the ones behind it. I don't know if this is just some times or all the time.

Post all codes. Then reset the ECU to see whether they repeat.

+1 see where that gets you. To reset codes unhook negative on your battery for 5 minutes or so.
