Sounds like another vaccuum leak. Spray some propane/carb/brake cleaner around the intake manifold after the Airflow sensor (a little cylndrical thing on your intake) and see if the RPM's jump anywhere.
Check engine light on?
Also, jump "TEN" and "GND" in the and set your idle properly. The info should be written on the underside of the hood.
Also, search on this site and you'll find a whole lot of information...

What it sounds like is a super long sentence. I would advise you to do a full tune up, check and make sure the wires are put it the correct order and that they are still in good shape. Change your plugs and thermostat as soon as possible, and just look at info on here.

Congrats on the purchase, and good luck.

swap to a klze and you will forget about the so called h22 swaps and so lol


well not the k20 swap tho... that one rules!



Do a tune up, spark plug, wires, disty cap, rotor. Check for vac leaks.


Our cars work like hondas too, they got pistons , cams, ecu lol :P
