Did you use plain water with the Barrs leak stuff? I think you are supposed to drain the coolant and then put that in with plain water, then let it work, test it out, and afterwards drain the water back out and put coolant back in.
At least you didnt put it in the oil, huh.
Also idle controler and sensors depend on the correct coolant temp reading. Thermostat must be working right too.
yeah i flushed the coolent out filled rad up with bars leak and water then ran it for 5 mins added more water ran for 20mins at 2000RPM then shut down added more water then ran for 1hour at 2000rpm then drained it and let it set of night then flushed it out good in the am refilled it with plain water and all hg problems went away :)Quote:

CAH head gasket job = Bars stop leak :lol:
Hard to say, but turn the music down & listen for a vacuum leak.

Do you have a timing light? Check it, another thing that causes surging idle is the timing belt being off some teeth.
yeah i have a timing light but idk how to use it never used one before hahaQuote:

FYI you can ruin the aluminum block hondas B,D, Etc by not using a thermstat. It will take out the rings most likely first.
The cylinders "float" designed to.
eww it will get replaced asap im getting one from forrest :)Quote:

Try loosen the pipe going to the iacv with the car running. A little air is prolly trapped in there. If you bend the hose back a little without the clamp on you might hear air escaping along with some fluid.
Check the fast idle as well take the cap off and see if you can feel air coming out the top.

Mine did the same when i first got it. Then after I did a coolant flush. hasn't done it since. BTW anyone have a picture of the fast idle control or whatever it is? Where it is located anyway.
its on the intake manifold on the back of it
its thing with 2 screws on top and held on with some 10MM bolts and has 2 coolant hoses running thu it
i've told you a hundred times cah your car is evil,it's possessed. it wants to kill you for what you have put it through. :devil:
CAH, get a thermostat in there and bleed the system correctly. Change your oil and go from there.
indeed once i get paid im sending forrest paypal for a thomostat and some rad hoses.etc and ill also do an oil changeQuote:
