tired of my crappy idle

[ne0tas]

I heard that cleaning the egr valve and replacjng the pcv valve can gelp with idle problems and stuff. I know how to replace the pcv valve but im not sure about the egr valve i cant really find anything for my d16y8 on how to affectively remove and clean it. Any help on this will be awesome

you need to clean the iacv
iacv-idle air control valve it will more than likley fix your idle problem

It'll fix my car idling at 150rpm??

150? I don't think it's possible for a car to idle at 150.... Or did you mean to say 1500? If it's under 750, you may need a new battery, alternator, tighten battery terminals, clean and reseat grounds, etc.. If it's too high, check your IACV like the post above says. Throttle cable and Alt/battery voltage can cause idle problems as well. .... And... You also have an idle adjustment screw to check and poke around for vacuum leaks... LOL

Clean everything see if idle goes right if not try the idle relearn

nope I meant 150, or it could be 200. Not exactly sure, sometimes it will sit right on that line above the 0rpm. Can the battery really be the cause for it? I thought low idle was because of the pcv valve? and also how do I clean the iacv?? do I just spray some carb cleaner into it?

One more thing, I noticed that when I took off my filter on my oem intake tube the car was warming up and I could have sworn I heard little poping sounds coming from intake, faint but still obvious as to what it was. Could I have detonation?
