Default bouncing idle...

Ok, so I have the bouncing idle after the car comes up to operating temp. And will only start bouncing after I hit the gas. It will idle normal until I hit the gas and then it starts bouncing. My FITV is pretty much shot so I just cut a thing of gasket out in the shape of the FITV and bolted it back on. The suction on the bottom hole went away, but the car still has the bouncing rev. So I unplugged the IACV and the idle dropped to 450, so I know it's atleast operating. I took it off cleaned all the crap out and bolted it back on and I still have the bounce 900-1.4k rpm.

So what else should I check. My TPS seems to be fine from the plot in my datalogs.

It sounded like the FITV. I had the same problem. I reset the plunger and it went away. Did you delete the FITV all together?

Make sure you check for vacuum leaks elsewhere too.

I drove an '86 Accord that had a similar problem, if I remember correctly it was a vacuum leak. Very long time ago and I never found out the specifics, I didn't even know what a vacuum leak meant back then.

As soon as it got a bit of temp. into it, w/out me giving it any gas, it would rev up somewhat slowly and then quickly drop before repeating itself. It wasn't a constant problem though if I remember, and it didn't surge or anything when it was in drive (auto).

ninjedit: actually, I can't even remember if it would continue, or stop, once fully warmed up... I think it stopped when up to temp., which wouldn't indicate vacuum, but FITV I'd think My memory sucks for someone who's never done drugs It went in several times before it was fixed is all I'm sure of...

this post was a mistake h:

Yeah the FITV was deleted all together. I think it's the IACV...

Tony or Eric, are you familliar with Xenocron's IACV delete plugin with CROME? I really can't afford a new IACV since I just bought my Moates Ostritch and a new laptop.

If you have air in the cooling system you also get a surging/bouncing idle.
