im having some problems with my throttle cable i think. or possibly the spring on the tb. has anyone else had issues with this? ive read the writeups for the swap and everyone says you can use the d series throttle cable and just flip that holder around. if i replace the throttle cable. which one should i get? d,b, or h? (b just cause i heard there shorter....)
(oh yeah and does it matter which model? d16y8 or d16z6, h23a or h22a?)

 

on my swap i used a 98 prelude throttle cable and it fit with zero mods works great.try junkyards.

 

awesome. what year h22 did you use? mines a 94. would the 5th gen throttle cable be different?

 

You can use your eg throttle cable. All you have to do is flip the bracket around and bolt it down on one side only.

 

yeah i did. but it seems to be giving me problems. so thats why i was asking if theres a better cable to use

 

what kind of problems ?

 

my idle often stays up at 1500-2000 and after driving it hard. itll usually just drop down and clunk out.

 

Mine would idle high after gapping on it, i adjusted it but it didnt help, then a few days later it went away on its own...?? lol hopefully yours will too! I was using the civic cable w/ the flipped bracket.

Hmm, that doesnt sound like a cable problem. If your cable were too short the idle would stay higher regardless of how hard you ran it.

 

sometimes itll even stay at like 4 grand after driving hard.

 

get the prelude cable from honda dealer i got mine for $15. fits perfect! no mods.

Hmm........ well, if it is indeed sticking open after hard driving i would just try some carb cleaner on your tb; clean it up might just be gunked up. Are you using your stock d series cable right now? I dont see it being the cable though, not if you're saying the problem only happens after hard driving.

 

Sounds like you might have an issue hooking up the D series throttle cable. It will work with your swap.

But, the 98 + Prelude throttle cable will work also. Don't expect it to solve the problem unless you know what the issue is.
