honda civic reving problem
Code 8 is probably a bad distributor and that's why it won't rev right. Test the TPS with a voltmeter. When you replace it you must calibrate it so the throttle closed voltage is 0.4 volts. Make sure the plugs for the TPS and MAP have not been plugged to the wrong place. The one with a solid white wire goes on the MAP.

Be sure the timing is set properly. Adjust the air screw on the top of the throttle body so engine will keep running at 450-500 rpm with IACV unplugged. Then a normal idle should resume when you plug it back in.
If IACV plugged / unplugged seems to have no effect, check continuity of IACV coil (I think 40 ohms). Make sure that harness plugs for IACV and canister purge solenoid are not swapped.
