Weird Issue
I have a 1994 Honda Civic Ex with a JDM15b Vtec, very similar to the D16z6.
Ok i have an issue with my idle at stop lights, after being nice and warm when i come to a stop light the cars idle surges from about say 500 to 750, but it feels like it wants to die. I swapped the IACV and Fast Idle Valve already. What other problems could it be? I still have to flush my coolant for air. I replaced my plugs already, and am doing a wire replacement soon. Also i noticed sometimes when in 2nd or 3rd etc.. if i accelerate then let off the gas and try to re-accelerate it becomes very sluggish. I also know my timing is 18 degrees and not 16, could this be the issue?

my civic is automatic but i had similar problems except my car shut off every now and then. I changed the plugs and wires to no avail. but i had my distributor cap changed and to this day ive had no idle problems since, that was about 3 months ago.

O.G. SON!
dirty air filter? dirty throttle body?
not sure but just some suggestions
my hatch does this too, just idles irractically sometimes when i come to a stop, I've learned to ignore it.
