well i swapped a b20z2 into my 96 civic ex and everything went well except i seem to have some minor problems...

1 - It takes me a good 4-5 seconds to start the car up when it hasnt been run for a few hours or so and once it starts the idle spikes to about 3k and then falls to ~1k, if it is cold out it will idle VERY low ~300 and then die after a sec and i have to restart.
(ive ruled out that it cant be a blown headgasket due to the fact that theres no oil in my coolant resovoir and my oil is not milky)

2 - how do i take the cruise control unit out correctly, can i just take it all out?

does anyone have a vacumn hose line schematic of all the routes of the vacumn hosing in a 96 civic? i figure ill just replace all of them now.


please help guys no one seems to know what the problem is

 

guys come on..someone has to know how to fix this.

 

check ure ground connections. make sure the connections on ure starter is good. ure idling issues are probably from a vaccum leak somewhere. make sure they are connected correctly. also check ure tps sensor on ure throttle body. it is not uncommon to break during the swap. the cruise control unit can be unbolted by i believe 3 10 mm screws and follow the throttle cable going to the cruise contrl unit to the firewall .
