ok my idle was tweakin goin from 1-2k rpm....but it wouldnt die..............
i was goin threw some threads and found that i should clean my throttle body and iacv......i did that and wen i did that the idle wouldnt surge but it would just die.....
i was able to drive it and it waskoo for a min and then it started goin crazy.....
it started jumpin and wen i pushed the gas i got nothing and i would let go and it would jump a lil....
anyone got any suggestions.....i heard something bout the FITV??
any wun kno where this is located on my first gen b16
here is a pic of my TB/ intake manifold

 

ok i found the fitv and tightened it all the way....and shot some carb cleaner in there....bout to see wassup wit it

 

ok this shyt is pissin me off.....
starts fine and runs on but idle will drop and car will die.....


some wun help me

 

try disconnecting IACV with engine running and see what engine does. If engine idle does not change, may have faulty IACV, vacuum leak, too high base idle setting, etc.

If engine idle drops so much that engine dies, try setting base idle with engine at operating temp and see if that helps.

If when IACV disconnected and engine idle drops to roughly 500-550 rpm, base idle is OK and may have FITV issue or bad IACV.

post back and let me know if you need or want more info in regards to this. Or you can perform a search, as I have listed the diagnostic procedure in complete detail in regards to this exact problem/symptom.

Again, let me know...

 

well i have given up for today.....
tomarrow i will try the idle adj/ screw and try to bypass the iacv
i dont understand why it dies tho cause it didnt do that before...
all i did today was adj the fitv till it was tightened all the way(right).....
and clean the iacv wit some carb cleaner...i also kno that my tps sensor needs adjustment.....

 

you do not want to adjust the FITV and tighten it in all the way. you will have no cold idle control if this is done. there is no actual adjustment procedure for the FITV. the only adjustment is made by the manufacturer to set it to spec. if it is out of spec, you do not adjust it, you only replace it. there are times when adjusting it slightly may work for a while, but once wax inside valve dries out (happens due to wear and age) it actually requires replacment to ensure all symptoms are resolved.

ive heard tighting it in all the way works wonders?

 

thats wat i heard too

 

It alleviates the symptom it causes (hunting idle due to vacuum leak), but it leaves the FITV function-less...meaning your cold idle will suffer.

The 'fix' works for some and not for others....but if it truely is bad, replacing it will work 100%.

Its a free 'fix', so why not try it, right?

 

what will the effect on the cold idle be?

when cold the idle wont be as high, the car will warm up at about 1100 rpms.
Took mine out and besides that, no other problems
