Roaming Idle

Its not to bad. Only happens when ECT is between 140-operating temp. Will come to a stop and idle will start going back and forth from 1000-1500. Cleaned my IACV, and I've tryed messing with the duty cycle to no avail.

Block Off the hole in the TB where the fast idle thermal valve breathes through.. Problem solved.

Check your fast idle valve. I see this a lot on hondas that come though our shop. Here is how we fix it. Take the fast idle valve apart and there is a white round button looking piece. Push and screw it in, repeat till it bottoms out. Re asm and re install fast idle, problem fixed.

I always let the slider in the middle. It must be possible to do it with the hardware of the engine. Do the following steps: 1-let the car heat up. 2-disconnect the eacv valve 3-with the disconnected eacv valve it must be idle'ing at 500/600rpm. If it doesnt idle at 500/600rpm take care that it does idle at 500/600rpm. Open or close the idle screw, adjust the throttle, just do whatever you can to get the idle at 500/600rpm. If thats done, stop the engine, reconnect the eacv valve and start again and let it idle for about ten minutes without touching the gas.
