jumping idle

[IALuder]

when i start my car up it jumps between 1500 -2000RPM. i was wondering if these is my PCV valve?

more than likely its just your iacv that needs cleaning...
Get some tb cleaner, follow whatever the can says (except the one that says 'use entire can'...1/2-3/4 is fine.
Then go ahead and remove the iacv itself and give it a good cleaning (be sure to reseat the o-ring properly when putting it back on)

my cuisre controll vacumm house wasnt connected. so i reconnected it and it went away.

i just installed my intake and it still happens. i check every damn hose and seal and clamp there all tight as can be.

ill try your idea now.

The jump in RPM can also be from your timing being off. What happens is the if your timing is off, each cylinder does not fire properly causing the car to sound as if the exhaust is miss firing, or a popping noise. Also causing the RPM's to jump.

well i dont here any popping or miss firing.

i think im going to get a new pvc vavle tommorow. only 2.34 at oreilys

Ive been thinking that I need to replace mine as well...just not wanting to do the big pita that it is compared to most things on a honda

yea true. well i got a new PCV vavle and cleaned everything. still jump. so i completely check every possible hose so i thought, i found a hound under the intake i had pinched. it wasnt getting air threw it so it jumper. and i replace a PCV vavle, intake and 2 hoses. god what a waste of money.

try burping the coolant via the rad cap
(take off the cap, wrap paper towells around the mouth, and start the car, let run for few mins)
That should get any air out of the system...if thats the problem.

thanks for the help guys.:yes:
