    H swap dies, idle too high

    Hey everyone, got an issue with my swap. At startup the motor shoots to 1800 rpm, then drops low enough to die unless I give it a bit of gas for about 5-10 seconds.

    When its at op temp the idle is somewhere between 1100 and 1500 RPM and wont drop lower.

    A buddy of mine tried the adjustment screw at the TB but doing this causes me to have to hold the throttle longer at warm up to prevent it from dying at start up.

    Has anyone else had this problem?

    that idle screw should have never been messed with . check for vacuum leask / cracked vacuum lines and such . there is a few ways to check for them water / propain / brake cleaner . ( note breake cleaner will catch fire .)

      before messing with the idle screw, it would just die and not hold idle.

      Map vaccum line plugged, egr deleted.

        did you remove the charcoal canister ?

        still check for vacuum leaks . the red hose on the charcoal can if its off cracked it can cause this .

        as for youre friend messing with the idle screw ( i know hes trying to help ) should have left it alone .

        take well the engine is running and spray around with water ( spray bottle ) and listen for it to change idle.

          Probably your fast idle valve. It’s located under your throttle body I believe. Also, what ECU are you running?

            When 'messing with' the idle screw you should have the IAC unplugged and the service connector jumped (setting base idle). Otherwise the ECU will attempt to compensate.

            Is this a new problem? Did it run fine, then this issue came up or has it done this since it was swapped? What ECU are you running? Is all of your wiring correct? Are all of the vacuum lines correct? Any CEL codes or vacuum leaks?

              charcoal canister gone, black box gone, p28 chipped and tuned, air boost delete. IAC was unplugged and jumped service connector.

              This has been happening since it has been swapped.

              No CEL or vacuum leaks....

                p28 with Hondata? or just a chip with a tune? do you have a wideband?

                I would be curious about the tune.

                  yes i am indeed... the tuner stated that tuning cars with golden eagle intake manifolds is a pain in the ass. The curve is hard to get right I guess...

                    Quick question. How's your antifreeze level? Do you go through a certain amount of antifreeze in a week?

                      Can your tuner look at your tune again?
                      Was he able to street tune it or dyno tune it?
                      Or did he just create a basemap for your car?

                        Sounds like he hasn't even made it that far yet if the engine is "dying" as he
                        described.

                          the coolant level is maxxed out with the car as high on the jack in the front and bled out all the air then topped it off at the max hot line in the reservoir tank.

                          Tuner gave me a basemap based on H22 with bolt ons and 93 octane to get it running, then complained that i didnt tell him about the type of I/M.

                          Once towed to his house, he tuned it to get it running then took it to the street to finish tuning. So its running, but the idle is just set high because at startup I guess it will die if its not...?

                          I was told not to mess with the idle settings.

                            Wtf his house ? Take it to well known shop not some guys house.

                            Try using just a stock ecu I have a feeling the tune is not right and you're just going to hurt the engine .
                            You will have to use 87 probably not sure .

                              There is no issue with going to a tuners house. MRX use to tune out of his house and Blake 850Fab works out of his shop in the back of his house. Both great tuners.

                              As for going to a stock Ecu I agree with. But do not put 87 octane in an H22a. It will knock as it requires 93 octane per Honda.

                              OP: unless the manifold is leaking I don’t see how it could be causing an idle issue. Do you have the stock intake mani? If the tuner feels that’s the issue swap it back to stop and see if issue is resolved.

                              Also are you running a stock TB or aftermarket? Have you checked to make sure your throttle cable isn’t too tight and had the throttle plate slightly cracked open?
