well ive know what the problem is so i dont need any theries just solutions..

my 99 civic sohc at times idles realy high, (2000,depending)
,if it sticks and stays that way i can check under the hood i push the throttle disk (cable around it) back and it closes the butterfly valve and idles at 5 - 600,
(i have a apc intake and the filter is a bit old prolly dirty but i dont think thats the problem.)
it also closes it if i pull up rather then pushing down on the gas peddle or if i pop off the peddle allowing it to slam it closed..
ive done alot of investigating and it seems the spring isnt pulling the valve closed on its own, i also lubricated just about every visible thing having to do with the throttle, losend , tightend and returned to orriginal possision. still the same problem exsists.

WHAT DO I DO NOW! how can i fix it because its realy annoying. and prolly not a good thing..

maybe your spring has lost it's sprung, try getting a new one....

what spring? the one by the throttle disk or the gas peddle one. i check the one in the car. nope not the problem..

did i say spring, dont know what spring. but the throttle disk is realy nice n springy.

did you adjust your throttle cable in any way?

If its the TB, well now you have an excuse to get something with a bigger bore. So grab a brand spankin new throttle body, and clean yor filter.

thats about all i can suggest aside from taking it to a place to get it checked out.

shit, a hole new throttle body. fuck.

ive adjusted the throttle, so it would idle higher because it was dying out..

not a new throttle body.. try re-adjusting your cable again

back to normal? i die out like that. it starts to iedle to low....

are you throwing any codes? if at normal idle your car dies out and your not throwing any codes i would check all of your vacuum lines..main culprit for off idles..

or broken sensor

aight thanks shepdady, gonna go check it all out today.

o no codes

I'm having this same issues, customwhips. What have you done to correct the problem. My spring seems like it is working (the one at the tb)but maybe it has gotten weak over time?
