Did you try resetting the ecu? Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery for about 5-10 minutes. Then, reconnect it and start your car. Let it idle for 5 minutes (don't worry about gas... it's the same amount of gas used to start your car 5 times lol). This lets your car "re-learn" it's idle parameters.

Welcome to the forum, by the way.

k i checkd that but twisting the screw to change idle doesnt seem to affect it =(......im gonna try buying new TPS since it gave me a p0122 code now...its tps low input......im guessing sensor is bad

my 2000 ex didi the same thing, after i put the skunk2 intake manifold, and bbk throttle body on it. my problem was i didnt have anything covering the hole for the iat sensor on the side of the manifold. so i just put a bolt in it and it stopped.

try cleaning the iacv valve on the back of the manifold. how is the slack in your throttle cable. You could very well possibly have your tps in the right spot and its reading the wrong resistance hence giving you an idle problem
