95 Honda Civic Fluctuating Idle Fix (FITV Adjustment)

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ก.ย. 2024
  • Fixing an uneven idle in a 1.5L Honda Civic. If you're having the same idling problem with your Honda, the FITV (Fast Idle Thermal Valve) is usually the main culprit. Along with air in your coolant system. We go over how to adjust the FITV as well as bleeding the coolant system in this video. Hopefully some of you will find this helpful.
    Sorry the video is so long, this is 2 hours of footage and I didn't want to miss anything.

    12:04 This is a fuel pulsation damper. It has a diaphragm travel limiter screw under the plastic cap. When diaphragm fails, the gas leaks around the screw causing gas smell under hood and fuel residue under fuel rail. It also contributes to slow starting after car sits overnight.

    turns out there is several things that can cause idle hunting, erratic idle, idle surging w/e.
    vaccuum leaks IACV FITV TPS air bubbles in coolant. maybe more. I finally found my problem. On the end of the fuel rail there is a fuel pressure regulator that has a small brass screw. 12:00 the brass screw was just sitting in the plastic cap creating a vaccuum leak causing idle hunting.

      xxevilpyro Right under where the air intake duct meets the throttle body. Look for coolant lines leading there and feel for the three bolts that are under it. It’s easiest to remove with the air intake ductwork off.

It stands for manifold absolute pressure, it's just the little rectangular sensor right in top of the throttle body ( likely with a vaccum line going to evap canister). It's right where your intake fits on. I checked voltage and cleaned it but nothing changed so I overlooked it. One day I cleaned it again just to be sure and broke it with a pin lol.
