Im guessing your throttle cable needs to be tightened. With my B16, i had to make a bracket for the throttle cable so it fit right.

really i didn't think that would be a problem, i will try it out thanks anything else you can think of?

I suggest you check it.


Just open your hood and see how tight it is. Its a common problem many of us encounter when swapping in a B16A.



. . also, try a search.

Throttle cable can be completely detached and it will idle fine, it doesn't have shit to do with the idle, unless maybe you idle is high.

Make sure all hoses are connected, coolant it right, test voltage on sensors, the usual troubleshooting procedures.

the voltage on the tps is good the only reason why i know is becuase the vafc told me so...what do i need to do with the coolant? also i am looking for a vacuum hose diagram that i can understand the one in the helms is kind of hard to understand now i have seen the one with for the obd0 b16a diagram but i got the 99 si intake manifold on the engine let me know if you find one please thanks guys
