I was driving along on the freeway and everything was going good. When I shifted my rpms went up and i was kinda confused. When i got off at my exit I realized that it was idling at 4k. I took it home and looked for vaccum leaks but didnt see any. so i took the car out again just to see if i was on crack when it happened. it started off at 3k rpms, but then when i drove for a bit it went up to 4! Is it my eacv? what else could it be? if it is my eacv, where is it? btw this is a boosted 89 hf.

Thanks

whenever this happens to me, i usally take it out, hold the throttle to the floor for about 5min and then let off. then i usally post about it IN THE HYBRID SECTION as to what is wrong. people usally help me out then.

but if this were in the hybrid section, i would think it would be something with your IACV or that idle adjustment thing thats at the bottom of the throttle body. there is a screw in there that sometimes becomes fucked for whatever reason. its really easy to fix, but its just the thought of doing it that really sucks about the whole job.

i believe its called the fast idle valve stuck to the bottom of your throttle body. you just need to take it apart and screw that big *** plastic or metal thing back in

So I took off the Iacv today to see what I could do. When I put it back on, the bastard cracked in half. I need a new one, but theyre 215 new from honda and i dont really want to spend that. Do I need it or is there a way to not use it? Also, if i completely need it doesn anyone have one? (89 hf)

eacv != fitv.

maybe the pop can trick thing will work?
just take out the coolant lines.
and then adjust your FITV.
