B20 stalling! Help plz
hey all, over the last few weeks ive noticed the idle on my EK turn't to shit
as soon as i am starting up the car (cold or warm) the idle constantly jumps between 500 and 1000 rpms, it gets to a point where the car stalls by itself without me having to hold my foot on accelerator slightly, this gets really ****ing annoying as it constantly stalls at the lights or when it is left in neutral
i know the car is running really rich (car backfires like crazy and spits petrol out the exhaust) which could be the problem and im only getting under 300kms out of a tank at the moment?
Engine is B20/B16 vtec build running power fc

I would first check/clean the idle air control valve first if your using the stock intake manifold and also check for vacuum leaks. The idle air control valve sits on the intake manifold towards the firewall

Why dont u get a proper ecu and tune?
-
Proper ECU? whats wrong with Power FC
and yes i think im gonna take it in for a tune, its drinking way too much petrol anyways
Know of any Good tuners in Melbourne whos good with Honda's?

@Atari
i just cleaned IACV and checked vacuum lines, same problem
Also what i noticed was after a few minutes of jumping RPM's it would find a good constant idle, but as soon as i tap the throttle it goes back to jumping between 500-1000 -,-

Running aftermarket throttle body, butterfly to open?
-
what fuel pressure regulator are you running? maybe your fuel pressure reg is faulty?

@ EK1 Civic - yeah pretty sure its 70mm, should i play around with the butterfly valve?
@ A-man - Stock b16a? where can i test for faulty reg?
