Hi peeps, I'm having a problem with my car reving it's self up at idle and holding revs briefly when I dip the clutch. Has anyone had similar issues that can point me in the right direction. I going along the lines of maybe a throttle body clean?
Oh and there is no fault codes only one for the lambda sensor which I know is common and have ordered one up from Honda.

Cheers :-D

Sorry to thread-jack but it's kinda related.

What should a DC5 idle at when cold and when warm? Is 2,000 rpm and 800 rpm respectively, acceptable/normal?

It's not a sensor as such, basically a magnet that's electronically controlled which adjusts a miniature butterfly for detailed airflow adjustments.

Make sure you strip the unit right down. There are two screws which won't fit a conventional torx bit so you have to use mole grips or similar to remove them and strip the unit properly. Once cleaned with brake cleaner or similar give it a little squirt of WD40 or similar to ensure the little butterfly spins nice and freely.

No you don't.

It's mechanical so needs no adaption.

It is however a good idea to reset the ecu so it can relearn fuel trim parameters but its not essential.

An electronically controlled magnet is a solenoid :)
