Hi guys,

I recently took the throttle body off and iacv an gave them a clean with a throttle body cleaner, i put it all back together.

But i accidentally knocked the throttle position sensor so the idle was bouncing up an down, I calibrated the tps back to standard 4.5v WOT 'wide open throttle' and .48v CT 'Closed throttle'

And now i start the car up it will idle fine, but as soon as i touch the throttle it will rev to 3k at idle or when the clutch is engaged,
the car drives fine when in gear.

Heres a quick video -

btw the car is a eg5 with a jdm b16a

Any help would be much appreciated
Cheers

 

Did you spray cleaner inside the IACV? I usually spray it on to a rag, then just wipe the screen down. I never spray it inside the IACV as Ive never had good luck when doing that. Easiest and fastest method of troubleshooting would be to find a known good IACV and swap it in.

BTW, u must have knocked into the TPS pretty hard to make it move..

 

yeah i did spray inside the iacv, i didn't think that would be a problem.
thanks mate, I'm gonna look for a working iacv an replace it see if that solves the problem.

the tps was a little loose since i replaced the rivets that hold it firmly in place with screws so i could calibrate it.

 

Trottle cable to tight? Tb gasket leaking? Sounds like a vacuum leak

 

Cant be throttle cable since he says it idles fine when initially started.

 

I have found the problem, the throttle rotor with the spring attached is getting stuck at 3,000rpm whenever i touch the throttle, The spring is very loose an need to be tight like this one -
but the problem is the 11mm nut on the rotor just keeps spinning freely an wont come off, which makes it hard to re tension the spring. o well i gotta work over the weekend so ill attempt it again on Monday.

Thanks for the help guys
