Idle hunting up and down 400 rpm
'00 civic hatch, with swapped b16a2, garrett t3/t4, obd2b to obd1 harness, p28 & hondata: turbo's installed and working well when the car's warmed up, but after cold start, if you blip the throttle, the idle starts loping up and down about 400 rpm. it's tuned with Hondata s200b and the idle valve is fine, idle was great before the turbo/hondata was installed, and it goes away after a minute if you start driving.
Also, there's a popping from the exhaust, sounds like misfires, when at hot idle but the A/F is fine the whole time.
any ideas?

why would the idle valve be no good all of a sudden? within 12 hours of sitting. Could it have something to do with the hondata tune, I believe there is an IAC setting when tuning hondata?

Re: Idle hunting up and down 400 rpm
it's the pcs valve that sits on the fuel rail and has a hose going in to the charcoal canister, and one hose going to the intake manifold, unplug the connector on the sensor and see what happens, should help a lot.j it's an obd2 to obd1 thing because obd1 doesn't have that, so the obd1 ecu doesn't control it properly and it lets too much air in to the intake manifold causing the idle to fluctuate.
