Tried to look this up on google but the only thing that came up was y7 to y8 intake manifold swaps. What i am asking is i just bought a new car today and the intake manifold dose not have the spot for a iacv and the idle is funny what ecu would i need to run this or should i just swap it out?
D16y8 intake manifold

Wtf, the IACV is on the throttle body, not the intake manifold. You dont need to have an iacv anyway. You can just adjust the idle at the throttle body ans be done with it. It's not something you'd be changing with a chipped ecu
You are telling me this is mounted on the throttle body? I really thought the map and tps sensor was on the throttle body.

And you cant adjust a bouncing idle by the throttle body i do not no where you got anything about a chipped ecu but the cel light is blinking dont know why but i was guess that it is because the car has no iacv.

See one has no place for a iacv and one dose now what ecu do i need to run so the rpms do not bounce thats what i want to know.

you need the iacv otherwise the idle will be shitty.
You don't need an IACV, or a FITV for that matter. They are used to pretty much ramp up the idle to warm up the car, and once it's at operating temperatures, they really aren't used a whole lot.
My 95 DX had a fault FITV (The spring was stuck closed), and a totally clogged IACV. The car would idle very randomly until it was warmed up and then drove / idled smooth as butter. Most people ditch them because they cause so many issues with the idle.
Swap the throttle body with the same IM. I don't remember which is which, if the Y7 came with it mounted on the IM and NOT on the TB, dump both parts for the Y8 IM and TB.
well i wanted to ditch it on my car as well. I plugged it and the idle became crappy when you put on the headlights, put on the ac, turn on the rear defrosters. when you drive the car as a daily and encounter all four seasons each year ranging in temperatures from -30 degrees celcius to 30 degrees celcius driving without one is gonna one pain in the butt my friend.
Yes the iacv is on the throttle body along with the damn tps and map sensor. Is that so hard to understand. I got the ecu part from your original post asking about what ecu to use, all stock ecus work the same so I assumed you considered a chipped ecu to fix your problem. You cant fix a bouncing idle but you can make the idle smoother. I dont run a iacv on my car and I have a smooth idle all day everyday. Good luck with your issues...
I can totally understand your grief, been there before and now my idle is acting up too.
so your iacv is missing? did you check to make sure your base idle is set? If I could run my car everyday without an IACV i would. If you have an IACV try cleaning it with brake cleaner, usually they are dirty.
The car is a 96 civic with a stock d16y8 5 speed. The car has a chiped p28 ecu this is how i got it i have a virgin p28 ecu i am going to replace it with to see if anything changes.
The idle is very smooth runs between 800-900 Rpms. As for the ecu part i just didnt no if there was a certain ecu i should run with it not having this sorry for the confusion.Yes the iacv is on the throttle body along with the damn tps and map sensor.

Virgin p28 ecu set the idle up higher and still the blinking cel light video below.
