idle problem...

[greddy_ek9]

i just swapped a b20vtec with a b16 head...when cold the idle is at 1500 rpm..and when is in operating temp it seems to die out so when iam at a stop light cars doesnt idle it jus dies out..what seem to be the problem???

 

[MthaFuknGreen]

does it idle better at stops the more you drive it?

 

[greddy_ek9]

it idle for a lil bit at a stop but den it jus dies out so i have to play with the throttle so it doesnt die out on me...highway driving its okay

 

[MthaFuknGreen]

so at a stop, itll idle for a second or two but then cut off?
does the time it idles at stops vary?

if you drive it for a while, on the freeway or something, then come to a stop, does it idle better?

 

[greddy_ek9]

no even if i drive it for awhile it will still die out me..

try adjusting your idle screw.

unplug the fitv i think, then adjust the screw.

 

[greddy_ek9]

where is the fitv located at btw

 

[MthaFuknGreen]

edit: oops..

[MthaFuknGreen]

thats on my prelude though..

 

[MthaFuknGreen]

thats also for fuel injected.
i have a picture for carburated too..

 

[greddy_ek9]

is the fitv by the throttle body for the b series

 

[MthaFuknGreen]

i have a b21a1 and thats where its at for me.

 

[greddy_ek9]

you think the throttle cable will come to play??

 

[MthaFuknGreen]

try adjusting the idle screw first.

check your pcv valve too, my car used to do that and it turns out it was just a clogged pcv valve.​

My idles low and dies when I turn it on I have to keep ma foot on the gas when I first turn it on ! I would think its my iacv but I just changed mine but u should check maybe that's wrong with urs...

Are you throwing any codes when the car stalls/dies? It sounds like a bad iacv. Change it and go from there.
