    Glad you got it running man! So what did you have to do to fix the sputtering?

    Also as far as the heater goes, just turn the heat on in the car, leave the radiator cap off, let the car warm up and just top up the radiator. You can also bleed it out via the bleeder valve once you get some coolant circulation.

    Wasn't that an IACV of some sort? So I take it you have no high idle when cold? You just adjust the cable and you're good to go? Pretty sweet! Does it throw a code though?

    Re: 85 SEI a20 swap.

    Yes it was an IACV it never really worked right always had an idle bounce when its warming up or even when i was driving for awhile. i tried to bleed the coolant system so many times and still did it. i really didn't feel like buy a new IACV for 80 bucks so i was like fuck it its getting deleted. idk about the code parts since my EGR valve doesn't have vacuum to it so that is throwing a code.
    i haven't checked yet to see if there's a different one.

    i don't have a high idle on cold start just have to hold my foot on the gas for a min. or two doesn't bother me really i didn't have to change the cable any. i was more annoyed with the idle always changing.

    maybe once winter hits again ill go buy a new IACV.
