where exactly is this FITV located at?

Re: surging idle (SOLVED, answer at bottom)
 

from the sounds of it, it is on the bottom of the TB but i have never noticed it before :-[. i better go check mine today

Re: surging idle (SOLVED, answer at bottom)
 

i always just use some jb weld to block that ---- off, perfect idle all the time

bottom of the throttle body.

indeed, I bypass the coolant lines together and just block the fucker off.

bah, the 5 minutes spent tightening it vs. getting some more hose to link the two together, and getting jb weld to seal it off, then letting it cure and such = way easier just to tighten the thing.

jb weld is forever. 5 mins spent on tightening will eventually get loose. ;)

I forgot what the FITV helps with (warm or cold idle), but Honda wouldnt put it on for nothing. I'd rather keep it if I could.

Re: surging idle (SOLVED, answer at bottom)
 

really, thats odd. 4 years of having my other car and that one never came loose.

why a offset screwdriver?

I use a 1/4" driver ratchet with a socket.......
