So how do you fix it then? Sure you can drive around without the assistance of a booster, but what's a solution to this?

change brake booster.

Thing I don't get it, brakes are working awesomely well... I mean hit the pedal and your face is likely to fall off! So how is the brake booster not working?

Your ITB's look to be old OER units.
It's likely all of your issues stem from the dodgey linkage system that comes with these throttles.

What is it exactly that makes the linkage system dodgy? So far people I've spoken to have identified the problem as being with the brake booster or PCV valve. I'm not sure how you linked the problem to the linkage system?

Well we had a set of OER quads on a ITR motor. The linakges broke.

That's fine, but it doesn't explain how that's related to my current issue? Thanks for the heads up though.

Have you tried bumpng up the idle to see if it makes any difference? I'll guess that it will now idle. Did the idle rpm change when you disconnected the brake booster? Did it happen to go up?

If you need a Tune, RevZone at Nudawading work frequently with Hondas.

The car actually will not idle unless the brake booster is disconnected. With it connected it will not idle.

What I am getting at is if you increase the idle speed will the car idle with the booster hooked up? In other words will the car not idle regardless of idle speed or does it just not idle at the idle speed it is at the moment?

Well I tried to increase the idle speed using the powerFC hand controller, but it hasn't made a difference. At the moment I set the idle speed to about 1100 or something, but its idling at around 800... Changing the idle speed on the powerFC didn't affect the idling at all.

Also another thing is at the moment the car will not crank over unless I have a my foot on the throttle. Strange...
