Car cuts out at idle or sticks at 1500rpm
Okay so right now my car is doing the weirdest **** ever!!
the idles jumps from 1500 - 1000 - 1300 - 1000 and sometimes (more now then ever) it just turns off.... and its gettin annoying to start my car all the time
2ndly! if it doesnt cut off it gets stuck at 1500rpm and when i give it gas to go it chokes.. and it will never go back to regular idle..
got a new cat cause it was clogged and car wouldnt start so that fixed a bit, did a throttle clean and it was idling great for... a day, checked my IACV motor and it was really dirty so cleaned that.. it fixed it for a bit.
this doesnt happen when the engine is cold.. once its warmed up and im driving i get these damn issues.. im running out of ideas!!!
TCC!! HELP!!
p.s. This is really pissing me off so unless you actually have an idea of what is going on please help. Those of you who have nothing else better to say, keep it to yourself please

you don't need to swap.... just unplug it. if it idles fine, then the IACV is your problem.

ok i put on a IACV from another car and it does the same freakin thing.. question now is.. is it ok to drive with the IACV unplugged? cause when i have it unplugged i get a steady idle and it doesnt bounce around. I kinda need a steady idle right now for the time being so that the car doesnt turn off on me. I need to find time to bring it to honda or someone to get it checked cause im all out of ideas

never unplug electronics while the car is running. shut the car off, remove the key, unplug the IACV, then turn the car on.

what happen if the wires are barely touching, and then you hit a pot hole? then is that consider as unplugged while engine running?

are you ****ing serious?? why do you think all the connectors are latched? wires on a car are NEVER BARELY TOUCHING. if they are, then whoever worked on the car is a ****ing idiot.

so will the ECU fired when unplug during engine running? All I'm trying to ask is why can't you unplug any connector during engine running?

hope that helps
also..... and this is VERY VERY NOTICABLE WITH NEWER VWs.... any connector that makes a poor connection will MELT WIRES, MELT THE CONNECTOR, OR START A FIRE.
this is because the resistance of a bad connection is very high, and high resistance to electrical load causes heat.... heat melts the plastic connector.... and could cause a fire.
