Yea i hate it too, looks like facebook :@
That's right, i did a quick search yesterday on my idle problem and
found that whenever any work is done on throttle body, the ecu needs a
reset. I followed this method (link below) today and everything is
working great now. The drive is really smooth and not jerky at all.
If you have idle issues look here before posting!!! - Honda Civic Forum
1. Heat up the engine until fan turns on (keep rpm between 2.5-3.5k), ran it 1 more min afterwards.
2. Turn the car off completely.
4. Remove fuse or battery (i removed battery negative) and wait 1-2minutes
5. Make sure there is no load on engine (no lights, ac, fan anything at all)
6. Start the car and let it idle for 10mins.
7. Turn off the car and wait 2minutes.
8. Start the car and drive normally. Step 8 confirmed that the unstable idle is fixed.
Btw the honda mechanic did a reset using honda diagnostic but he did not followed the above steps. The readings ecu saved were not of actual idling which is why this problem came.
Oh and i never knew the fuse box contains a fuse puller :o The link above had this picture which showed fuse puller
So you replaced the seals by yourself? wow i thought this pump is
really touchy about things. Do you suggest me to it myself? I have
obviously no experience with power steering pump but i am good with
tools.
Also how much did it cost you?
