I HAD this issue recently on my 99 civic ex. (Beater whip). High idle/ surging idle, it went from 1,000rpm -2,000rpm plus. It Drove my crazy for a few days- replaced iacv from amzn. Didnt resolve the surging idle. Cleaned out iacv unit & replaced it. Same problem. Cleaned throttle body, map sensor, tried numerous suggestions, nothing worked. I sprayed some carb cleaner on every intake hose- nothing. I was so ready to give up- then I sprayed the outside of the throttle body withcleaner- the rpms settled for a second - then started surging again. I sprayed the hell out of the outside of the throttle body- especially the side towards the firewall. The idle settled! Purchased new throttle body gasket and installed it. Problem solved!!!!!!! Great video though pal.

Had this surging idle problem on an accord I've been working on for my sister. I swapped out all 3 valves on the intake manifold with no change. Did The block off plate thing and it didn't help BUT, what did was when I turned down the idle screw located on the front of the throttle body at the top left side. The screw had vibrated loose and had caused the idle to rise. There is an O ring on the screw that stops the screw from moving and the O ring was hard as a rock and didn't grip the walls anymore. I pulled the screw out and replaced the O ring and then put it back in about half way. I started the car and adjusted the idle down to where it should be. It now idles smooth and constant.

Displays New York. 2 things with this Honda, I had same issue with idle surging and running high, I found it to be an adjustment on the passenger side of the motor I think on the intake area was a brass flat head screw that stopped the problem. The screw head faced the passenger side fender. The second thing is many times I find a vacuum leak in an odd spot by using a propane torch unlit, and just poke around areas with the propane hissing out of the tip and if you get near a leak the idle will jump up because the motor sucks up and burns the propane through the leak

Just an FYI on the Honda MAP sensors. It is normal to see around 2.8 volts with the KOEO or WOT. It surprised me the first time too. I wanted to see the normal 4 to 4.5 volts. It seems Honda designs these MAP sensors to work on NA and Turbo engines. I'm not sure I've seen one like yours at 2.5v, so it still could be an issue. The hole you plugged up in the throttle body to make the idle come down. This passage goes to the electronic IAC valve right? If so, what this means, is the computer is commanding this high idle speed. So we definitely want to look toward an input problem like you are. If you unplug the electrical IAC connector, does it also idle down? It should, if my suspicions are correct. I've seen the TPS and ECT cause this issue on these too. This creates a condition where the ECM commands the IAC to open, then the ECM program fights with itself and cuts injector pulse, causing the surge. I think I am rambling now. Sorry.

@briansmobile1 7 жыл бұрын

No problem at all. When you talk, I listen. The ECT has battery voltage instead of the 5v reference I would like to see there. The IAC is new. I threw a used MAF in it and it's better, but still lopes- just not as hard. The idle signal voltage is a lot lower. Unpluggin the IAC does cause it to idle down. Unplugging the new MAF also makes it calm right down too.

@Inisfad 7 жыл бұрын

Normally, I think a hunting idle is the computer gaining and losing control of the idle. I would pinch the vacuum hoses to see if it brings the idle down. I think that unplugging the MAP sensor, normally, just allows the computer to run off of predetermined values. However, having a MAP that's not designed for your car is a no-no...

Had this same issue on a 90 civic si, despite all my efforts I ended up turning the idle screw down to 700rpm, fixed the issue and never had any bs after... Also had this same issue on a buell xb12s, turned the idle back down a lil bit and surging quit for good.

@moofushu 7 жыл бұрын

My Acura Integra it was a few small hoses located behind the PGM-FI intake. It was hard to get to because there were between the firewall and the intake that didn't leave much room to service unless I removed it. It did it without removing it and once I did it worked fine. The hoses become brittle over time and leak and in some cases engine coolant might come leak.

I had a 2002 accord with surging at idle, does it when warm and hot. it had a code for idle system malfunction (forgot the #). Honda service manual said if you plugged that hole inside the throttle body, check the Idle air valve for fault. I'm not sure if this is the same case for you as you said it will go away during cold. and also it's different vehicle. I really hope you will find the problem, very excited to know what the problems are!

I have a 2000 Honda CRV and I have the issue where when the car is cold it starts with no problem but once it warms up and has been running for a wile and turn it off after 5 to 10 minutes later it won't turn on, until it cools off again then it would turn on with not problem. after a bit of research on google (LOL) it seem that the most common place to find the cause is the 'Main Relay' I will be taking my car to the shop tomorrow for them to replace it and pray to God it was the only issue, but now i'm also having the idle problem but it comes once in a wile no so bad for now, but i'm trying to find it so I can neap it before it becomes a big issue!

Vacuum leak in the intake manifold, either a vacuum cap is missing/cracked or a vacuum hose is cracked. I was a doing a head gasket on a civic and while I was putting it back together a vacuum cap cracked didn't fall off but it was under the manifold which is why it took me so long to find it. Did the exact same idle condition you have. Key bit info is 1990 26 year old vehicle equal brittle vacuum lines.

What you are calling the Fast Idle Valve is FITV fast idle THERMAL valve, so you need to check if the FITV is closing when the coolant gets over 100 degrees. The coolant may have two hoses- in and out and the temperature of both hoses should be the same, otherwise there likely is a blockage. then you need to pull the IACV to the left of your FITV and clean it, disassemble it. If the inner motor shaft cannot rotate freely the valve is not working.

I have a 92 Accord LX model. The car runs smooth once driving even above as little as 900 rpm. Car also just passed smog! Whew-Hooo! And emissions actually went DOWN 2x after 2 major repair/replacements: head gasket (after that cold year of 2012) and Catalytic converter - separate repair dates by a couple years. Anyhow, my issue is a slight rough idle (sitting at a stop) as it drops to about 750-725ish (not sure on exact meas.). Anyhow, I believe that would put great stress on the rear motor mount alone, if not all, in the LONG-RUN so any suggestions? @371k miles!

And would replacing the Power Steering Rack (I found a price about @$100 NEW) greatly reduce any vibration to the steering column as well? Advice is much appreciated.

Did anyone notice that the distributor adjustment bolt is not installed? It looks to be clocked way off too.

On the 97 accord I have, the Idle air control is on the back of the air intake, like where the one in this video is, mines on the back and I can’t seem to see the fast idle valve, it should be around the same area this one is just on the back right?

Although typically readjusting the fast idle is only a temporary fix and will only work for a few weeks. It is good practice to just replace when sensors act up. I've been wrenching on only late model Hondas for 15 years and have done everything your showing. They are all temporary bandaid fixes. You could have replaced that sensor in five minutes and been done with it. No engine light with erratic idle generally is fast idle because it is a thermostat sensor.

Do you know the answer to the question of why Honda S2000’s have off-idle tip-in stumble? I spent the last two years searching the Internet, reading S2KI, watching LHT videos, and no one has the answer as of November 29, 2022. There’s a long laundry list of “things to do”, none of which solve the problem. All Honda S2000 owners will be grateful if you know the answer to the problem.

Displate contest. Chris from Maryland. Thanks Brian for all the entertainment! Would love to bring my 03 f350 out and have you do the transmission rebuild if you are interested.

My Honda did the same thing, I happen to have a spare engine in the garage and replaced the IACV (Idle Air Control Valve) and it fixed my problem. Displate, Oregon. I noticed someone also mentions the IACV and to clean it, I'll mention that I tried cleaning it first with no success, replacing it is what fixed it.

My 98 accord started doing this after I replaced the valve cover gaskets

The seals on the butterfly valve shaft are shot. When you put your finger on the little hole, the idle returned to normal. Because the air is pulling through the shaft seals. Replace seals or throttle body. Case closed.

if the car is surging and you had work done on the throttle body maye they overtightened the gas pedal cables that go to the springs from the pedal and open the throttle body, mine never went to idle so it kept doing this. but itll still do this during warming up just not all the time.
