Thread: sr20ve issue idle?

What's weird is that it only does it when warm... Which seems to be the opposite of everyone else's idle problems... Cold idle seems normal though, its about 1,500-1,600RPM and then settles down to 1k when the temp gauge starts to register. Then you'll notice it bog from 1k to 500 then back and forth :/ It kind of sounds like a miss when it does this, I'm hoping by making the dizzt a peg leg I'll fix this issue and maybe even get more power

what TB are you using?

De tb

adjust the little nut thing.

i don't remember if the lowport tb an high port tb are very similar, but on the highport tb there's an 8mm nut and a little screw type thing u use a tiny Flathead on. basically what i did was loosened the nut then turned the screw type thing so it would open the tb just a tad. this did wonders for my idle problem.

i had the same issues your describing.

Let me go take pictures!

do so!

I think this is what you're talking about? It looks like a little bolt that you can adjust that pushes on a tab that sits on the TB so if you screw it in more it sticks up higher and keeps the TB open more?

Exactly!

a slight adjustment to that little guy an my car stopped dying on me an doin that bouncy idle shit..

you might have to play with the iacv a tad more to get it just right though.

What is there to play with on the IACV?

ok i know theres alot of confusion concerning iacv's, in my opinion the whole unit is the iacv, meaning the brown plug thing, the grey/purple plug thing an the base they mount on. now i know im not %100 correct when i say that but usually thats what people are reffering to.

theres a knob on the base that the iacv (hex thing) screws into and that the brown plug guy screws onto.

now if you haven't touched that yet, then that might be a good thing. put the car in timing mode, set the idle using that screw (800-1000rpm is fine) then set your timing.

your problems might just go away, if not do the little adjusting on the TB like i said before.
