i used some of that bar leaks hg repair and it seems to of worked no more water coming out the tail pipe no more water in oil and no more milky looking coolant i know its not a permanent fix ill replace the hg when i have a place to do so (Working on the street sucks and can result in a fine were i live (N) )
ill be sure to check that i have only replaced the battery and valve cover grounds
this next weekend ill be replacing the spark plugs and wires and coil so if the grounds are bad ill look in to doing the a ground kit

search u n00b :P
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
and no sir i did not add it to the oil lol
oh snap thats it then!! i took the thermostat out so it would not get clogged with bars leak so ill replace that when i do the other stuff

CAH head gasket job = Bars stop leak
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 haha

My 3gee does the same thing...it has done it since i bought it, but i was told its not harmful...just annoying in neutral...and a bigger deal if driving stick. If the air is cold out it will bounce, if its hot enough out it has a stable idle (my 3gee does anyway)

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

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.

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.
CAH, get a thermostat in there and bleed the system correctly. Change your oil and go from there.
