99hondacivicsi Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I have a 1999 honda civic si, which i recently put on a skunk2 intake manifold and 65mm edelbrock throttle body on. I installed the intake manifold the night before i got the throttle body. With the skunk2 intake manifold and stock throttle body the car runs great. when i added the edelbrock throttle body on the cars idle constantly surges from 1,000-2,000 rpms when at a idle. The throttle body came with a new gasket which i installed with it. a honda tech said it could be the gasket and to try to use the stock gasket....same problem still...throttle cable is adjusted correctly. new tps and map sensor also new iac valve... any ideas?

Kastigir Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 All vacuum lines hooked up correctly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black93Sol Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 if not that try the intake mani gasket. try putting the stock throttle body on the new manifold, and see if that works if it does then theres something wrong with the new throttle body, if the problem continues its most likely the gasket or a vacuum line like said above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 You need to adjust the bleed screw on the TB. If that doesn't do it, you have a leak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99hondacivicsi Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 intake manifold gasket is about 2 months old. all lines are checked and double checked and hooked up properly. i can't find any leaks either. The idle screw just causes it to jump at a higher rpm. is there anyway that the ecu might need to be reset? has anyone else had problems with elelbrock throttle bodies? i was also to i could possibly have too much vacume?

cranny Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 ive seen this problem countless times now with these aftermarket intakes. they arent worth the hassle imo. ave you switched back to the stock TB after the new one and it still runs fine? if it does , the problem is in your fuel map possibly. if your running a stock ecu , that could be the problem. ive also seen TB gaskets that dont line up with the TB or intake manny ports properly causing a vacuum leak.

99hondacivicsi Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 i'm was thinking about buying a s300 from hondata would i be able to tune around it with that to make it idle semi normal? or at leat not jump around at an idle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisz232 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 did u try vacuum lines or maybe screwed up cold start valve. or maybe a EGR, or pcv? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99hondacivicsi Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 yeah i tries the lines and i know the EGR valve is bad but it works fine with the stock throttle body... could it have something to do with the tps that came with the throttle body?
