Default Surging idle issue accord UpDATE still surges!

Update:

It is possible for a motor to rev to 5000 with the throttle plate closed, if, there isn't a vacuum leak somewhere?



The idle on my 90 accord surges from 1000 - 3000. Car is all stock. Temperature isn't a factor. No cel.

Help me out with some suggestions.

So far I have replaced all the vacuum lines, the iacv, fitv, and the map sensor. And disconnected the egr and charcoal canister.

I haven't checked the alternator.

Anything I'm missing?

have you taken off the throttle body yet? I would degrease the **** out of it and check the tps voltage



also give the plenum a good cleaning has well and just wipe it clean




I like carb cleaner or brake cleaner for the job



Also if there is alot of build up on the throttle bodt plate area take a piece of sand paper and clean the plate and tb. Then slam the shot out of the throttle rotor to make sure you have a perfect seal


loosen up the screws that hold the throttle plate in place before doing this



Throttle body should be liquid tight.

I blocked off all of the vacuum ports on the manifold and it still does it....

SO, I think that it is a vacuum leak.

I haven't ever heard of an egr producing basically the same surging problem as the fitv...but I will deffinitly take it off and clean it up.

Currently its 6 degrees and the wind is blowing.
