I had that problem in my CRX.. most annoying frickin thing on earth. Especially when I was sitting at lights and people thought I was revving at them

 

how did you guys fix it. i checked my spark plugs and they are pretty dark and i know that runnin rich can mess up your idle. do you guys just think i need to get it tuned to fix the jumpin idle between 1k and 2k.

 

I have the same problem now lol, im checking my fitv i think it is this wekend to tighten it up.

 

i dont have an fitv on mine since i just re-used my y7 throttle body.

i am thinkin that i just need to get it tuned since i am running pretty rich.

I didn't want to read the whole thing, but make sure you put your stock oil pressure sender into the back of the block fitting. Open the restrictor this much. lol

I'd say thats about where you wanna be.

 

ok cool, ill put it there.

also i just realized that the nut in the middle of the intake mani on the bottom (the one thats a bitch to get to, is not on.)

i dunno if i forgot to put it on or just lost it and didnt realize i didnt put it on, so im guessin this could be a reason why my idle is a little messed up, and possibly the leaking coolant as well, however i dont think it is the spot where coolant is leakin because it seems like the leak is a little more towards the passenger side of the car.

im gonna get under there today and check for some cracked hoses and stuff. then try to find another bolt to fit on that mani.

^ ok i checked and there are no cracked hoses, but i saw that the leak is coming from what looks like the top of the oil pan on the shallow side on the back. right in front of the cv boot.

im not sure if i somehow cracked the block ( i dont see how i could have seeing as the peak boost on my profec B is at 4 psi ) and i dont see how my headgasket could have blown and water gettin into the oil, but even if water is gettin into the oil, it shouldnt be leakin.

sorry for the n00b question but do d-series have core plugs? (aka freeze plugs) and are they on the back of the block?)

or does anyone else know what it may be?
