Its most likely your idle air control valve.

think its you cuz this is the first problem with the car...=.=....

2 Valves

There are 2 valves that control Idle. 1 is the IAC located on the intake and the other is attached to the throttle body (the fast idle control valve). Which one did you replace? I am having the same problem so I bought a new ECU and have a IAC coming. According to the Honda service manual If you check the leads running to it and it checks good it is the ECU. I just worked backwards.

Well New Z-3 style fenders or something like that would be resonable. Or just cut you loses and go for the swap. Not sure what you are asking for a price on.

 

[b16bang]

less than $4500.... really less than $4000 but i'm gettin sorta desperate right now -.-

Vacume lines???i could be stupid...im not sure if civics even have them. lawl... or your brake booster???

 

[b16bang]

kk..fixed the problem...it was another O2 sensor i think near the cat converter or header area...but anyways it passed emissions from what i was told...

 

[JDM_EG6_1993]

did u change the cam gear? that might be the problem too

 

[b16bang]

yea..well...it idles alot better but still seems to go up and down (very minimally) but ah well....next meet if its not fixed then someone can help me out. I got the car today..driving home getting used to driving manual cuz i haven't driven stick in x many years..lol. Whats that smell that smells like...a fart after i park? Is it the clutch breakin in? (clutch is basically new)

**EDIT** : PICS COMING SOON.....

 

[Faisalicious]

You said you changed the throttle body. Did you put a new gasket?!..

 

[Ian01ex]

From what I have read the fart smell after you drive it for a while is an old cat converter. Gets dirty and when it heats up it stinks. I dont know about the clutch... could be that but I've never heard of that.

 

[b16bang]

hmm....kk....if i replaced the cat converter would i be able to use the same cat on my swapped b18 or b16?

My car Revs high then low realy fast in cold weather some time's

If the IAC is new then The frist thing you might wont to check is your coolent if its low your idle will do that, and if your water pump is going bad that will happen too
