ok, so got the car, and it would idle ok, but now it bounces 2-300 rpms while at idle im thinking it may be the idle air control valve…(advance auto said so) but they know nothing when it comes to the real deal…usualy just how much it costs lo…but any advice will be awesome!!! also when im driving it and let of the gas it clunks, and same for when i push back on the gas, like the wheel bearing or something is out….and again any advice helps thanks

ok…tried a couple things…maybe they will help!! the idle air control valve was un plugged (electrically) i cranked it up, and it idled high…and contenued to rise, until i noticed the throttle position sensor was off…now eveything in plugged in and in place as should be, and the idle was super low…to the point it would die at a stand still…so i idled it up a little bit. and now it idles pretty good with a acational drop and the rais and gp back to normal……another deal is when im in the clutch the rpms doesnt drop as quick as normal…they kinda float where it was…and same with a stand still rev…rev it up and it will take a sec to come down…help help help
[quote=”college man” post=81814]see if this helps.

There is a TON of information in these articles on dealing with Honda idle problems. I would suggest you read through them and then check back with what you find.
Keep us posted.
i was snooping around and seen that where the o2 sencor was on the manifold actually has some sort of a plug in it…there for that could most likely throw off the computer enough to do these things…correct? there is NO o2 sencor on the manifold at all,,,and i cant even find the wire to reconect one.
another thing is that if the car sits more then just a couple mins it will try to die at idle, or low rpms and boggs like its out of gas…when it does this all i have to is tap the gas and it will be ok till rpms drop…may be fuel pump or something but if i turn off let sit it will start up and run great till i let it sit and idle again

Take another look. Here is a picture of where it should be.
If it is missing thats an issue. You should have gotten a
check engine light.Sounds like it might have been hacked up pretty good. If that’s the case, you may have a wiring issue. A factory service manual might be your best friend at this point.
ive ben doing all the checks on it…so im going to the junk yard and pullling patys off good motors to replace all the little odd and end sensors etc, to narrow it a little more, ill keep posted as always, thatks!!
i know where it goes, and what it should look like but its gone,,,just a little rubber piece in it splace with the threaded nut on it,,,looks like a valve on a tire
