Default Irregular idle after swap

okay here is the thing I fire up the b16a sir2 swap in my EF and well I get the sucker idling from 2000 to 2500 rpms back and forth nothing less then this. I kill it with in seconds not letting it continue. I have no header at the moment.

I had this problem right after I brought it home from the shop with a ls/vtec set up I had before that is gone now. And would figure this swap wouldn't do this. Now could this be wiring, eCU, or sensor related.

I am using the old manifolds(intake/exhaust) from the ls/vtec set up


HELP!!!

I like to drive my car this weekend to the crand opening in Azusa, Ca

i thought it was that too but have a semi new o2 and nope ain't that

I was told it could be ICAV but I cleaned it and still no good

could it be a leak in the manifold like not bolted up right to the head??

try the fitv.
Mine does the same I changed the FITV and the IACV and the TB. Told itd probably my ecu. Still have no clue, but hopefully its your fitv....you take the back plate off and screw it back in and then it should work...didn't for me but helped others.

found the issue it was the IACV I guess all I did was cleaned it and adjusted the throttle cable and DONE!!!

I guess it was the IACV or the throttle to open
