i just installed an 00vi, but i tried to start up and my idle rpms kept bouncing up and down. up to ~2.5k and back down, bouncing in about 1-2 second increments. then i thought maybe my throttle cable was too tight so i went out to pull on it and my rpms climbed to about 4k and i shut if off. any ideas?

i used the 5th gen TB and plugged in just one iacv plug like SDot did in this thread:

and the other 2 plugs going into the 4th gen iacv previously were left unplugged. guys help please i need my car tomorrow. thanks.

 

okay, so i started it up again. rpms start @ 1500, then slowly climb. and then after a few seconds, it starts fluctuating between 1500 and 2000 rpm.
the thing is, i took it for a drive, and this rpm jumping happens at idle AND while i'm driving, which is a pain.

with that said, is it still an iacv problem? i used a 4th gen lower and the gaskets (the lower/upper gasket looks to be real thick piece of rubber), but it looked like the 5th gen upper has it's own thin rubber around the holes. i wonder if i may have a leak there and maybe i should just remove the 4th gen rubber gasket?
