So I checked out a 00 civic ex with a b16 motor in it and it was idling high around 1500. Should I get it and if I grab it will it hurt it driving it like that? Thanks.
Engine idle at 1500?

1500 isn't bad, it should idle 1200-1500 cold and 700-1000 warm. You can always turn the idle adjustment screwSo I checked out a 00 civic ex with a b16 motor in it and it was idling high around 1500. Should I get it and if I grab it will it hurt it driving it like that? Thanks.
True or maybe a little vacuum leak.. Make sure it don't have a check engine light on.1500 isn't bad, it should idle 1200-1500 cold and 700-1000 warm. You can always turn the idle adjustment screw
Check for vacuum leaks...
Relearn idle can look in hanes manual or search for it online. Do not adjust anything until you try that first
IACV could need cleaning/replacement. Can also be low on coolant, can make it idle high if the FITV/IACV aren't getting submerged in coolant. Mine idled as high as 1800 rpm because of that. Of course, if it's leaking or eating coolant there could be a ton of things wrong with it.
