Ok,
I have a b18c1 in a 94 civic dx. I'm having trouble getting it to start when the engine is cold and even when it is warm (takes 4-6 tries to get it to go when cold and ~2 when warm)
symptoms when started:
1. idles high by ~200 rpms irregularly
2. when i try to hold it at a certain rpm while in nuetral the idle sporadically drops ~100 or so rpms.
I've checked my Fast Idle Valve by checking the flow at the port in the throttle body opening, I've got strong suction when the engine is cold and weak suction when the engine has warmed up. Is it supposed to have any suction at all when warm? I've read that it should have "no flow when warm" and I'm getting a little suction when its warm...
I'm also going to take the IACV off and try and clean it but I've never done this before either and would appreciate any help or a link to another thread where this process is explained...
thanks
