try to set idling at the T/B .. u see a screw at the side of mouth of the T/B .. adjust it clockwise bit by bit .. it could be your timing is a bit high that's why it maintain then back to normal idling .... try it if still cannot then service your idle valve control ...

Bro already done that. idling is ok but when press accelerator at idle the rpm will stay at above 1krpm then only drop to around 600rpm. As what Zniper said, I suspect they put to much gasket paste. Maybe I will ask the mechanic to repaste it again. But Im not sure if this will solve the problem though. Also why must reset ECU?

easy la to reset ECU simon...just cabut ur battery terminal and leave it for about 5 minutes and put it back....any mods/change done in ur intake/exhaust system u must reset ur ECU after that so that the ECU can remap itself back....unless ur using piggyback...hehe

hehe.. duwan ek4, i m saving up for jfd's cluster ek9 cluster haha

ehh.. i dont open vtec till 8k wan le.. only once i did tat. n tats it.. hehe. i dunno my meter reading it correctly or not. so duwan to risk damaging my engine.

i usually rev n shift abt 2k - 3.5k

hmm...reset ur ECU first & then if idle still go crazy go to any reputable honda-specialized workshop...only those who familiar with honda will know how much grey paste to put on...hehe..

Thanks for the info. Must be the grey paste that is causing the unstable rpm. My car is stock so I dont think I need to reset ECU right?

Cause I saw the way they apply the paste, like no need money like that. And also the paste actually blocking the hole also. MAybe that's the cause. Zniper how did you solve your case before when you encounter this problem?

yo bro, bcoz ur car is stock la then u need to reset it....i say UNLESS ur using piggyback and then u have to tune it manually...last time i just go to another workshop which repair only honda....they take off the previous paste and put thin layer of paste only...they said honda dun need thick2 one

Oh i see. Maybe Ill ask the mechanic to remove the battery and leave it for 5mins? And also reapply the stupid gay paste. Thanks for the info.

or mebbe u can DIY la...

Lazy and no time to DIY.

moon*,...i think u're not fully seducted by the darkside of the b16a la...i want more&more from VTEC...type R piston&cams...4.785 FD....never get enough of VTEC ma...

Simon, remember last time I told you about the knocking sound in my car after I got it back from workshop? It was the idling problem, which is, the rpm stay too low and made the car jerk. My dad brought my car to a nearby workshop to adjust it (free) and now there's no more knocking sound, but still jerk abit because the rpm stays at 400-500 rpm only.

Hahaha, it has nothing to do with your case, but i think it's not hard to solve your problem there with an experienced mechanic.

ahah indeed i m not fully seduce by it yet..

currently on budget mode.. better not fall too deep , later hunger for power..

my FC will kill me

now leave it on beauty mode.. cruise n ride first

My problem comes only after cleaning the T/B. Oh well, I will send it to workshop and see how it goes. Removing the T/B really takes time. I hope I got time for it though.

Bro Maybe yours can adjust abit higher maybe around 600rpm. knocking sound, maybe it's the piston/valve misfire. Time for a B16 I guess. Again it's a sign.
