Hey whats up, I just had a B16a2 put in my 92 civic and I love it but the only problem is it idles fine when it's warming up but as soon as its warm it starts loping up and down constantly. I tried adjusting the idle screw and that didn't help, my thought was mabey a sensor is bad but I have no idea how to tell, any ideas???

you might have a vacuum leak, also is your check engine light coming on?

Yeh i had the same problem. I think it was my tps. Anyways did u put enough coolant in? Check that. Mine used to do that whenever it warms up and i was low on coolant.

No my check engine light's not on, I was low on coolant though but I filled it up and it still did it. Where is the TPS sensor because I looked in the Chiltons and it doesn't really say

Its located in the back of your throttle body. ITs a black piece.

One of the guys I talked to said maybe an air bubble is trapped somewhere but if so how do I get the air out? Thanks for all your help, also can I order a TPS sensor from honda and does it just plug in? Thanks again
