Can we assume that your Check Engine Light (CEL) does not stay ON?

 

also check ur manifold gasket might have blown could get a vacuum leak, if it isnt your iacv. tps wouldnt do that it just makes ur idle high or low not bounce up or down.

 

no it doesnt

 

okay, well the hose was connected tothat, and i need to know where the other end of the hoseis connected to... i would have taken a picture but im not exactly sure what im taking a picture of.

 

This diagram should help you to reattach the EACV (IACV) hose in the proper location.

wow perfect... thanks

 

I had that same issue with the idling jumping... All I did to fix it was put some "high class" oil in the beast, like Shell Gasoline. BUT, maybe my problem was less complicated or it fixed itself coincidently when I placed the oil in my tank.

Just saying! But I'm sure your a Honda Civic fanatic and you wouldn't dare put some cheap *** gasoline in your Honda's stomach.

 

Well i cleaned out theIACV with carb cleaner and let it dry and put it back in again, but it didnt work. So i triedthe processagain... and as i expected it still didnt fix my problem.

When i was reviewing the guide of how to clean out your IACV, i noticed that it said to have a towel handy when you take off the component, and now that i think back, i dontrecall any fluids coming out of the iacv or the two hoses. So im guessing this could be a problem...

any help is appreciated.

 

You may want to check the coolant level and also bleed the system (see picture) -- administrator mxs has pointed out that air bubbles in the coolant system can cause idling problems. You should also verify that coolant is able flow through the IACV as well as the connecting hoses.

If coolant system bleeding does not fix the problem, then I would recommend that you test for a vacuum leak, as originally suggested by civicexracer.

 

ok thanks
