Re: High idle b230f, out of ideas. 200 84

First of all I want to state that I have the B23F engine with LH

2.0. Not your B230F with LH 2.4 controller.

I am sorry I was so inarticulate. I would never suggest swapping

the ICV (Idle Control Valve) and Throttle position switch. I is

something I inadvertently did when I replaced the wiring harness.

I have tried to remove my temporary plug from hose upstream of the

throttle body that goes to the ICV. Then I removed the electrical

connection to the ICV. I am sorry to report that my engine races

up to 3000 RPM just as before. This could be from a bad ICV, but

I have replaced it (only once not twice like Zee)

I too am at a loss to understand why my car wants to run at

this high idle. If I hit the accelerator for a second, and

let it drop back to an idle, it seems to want to control the

speed at about 1000 RPM for a second, and it takes off back

up to 3000 RPM.
