I am still running with this problem
Fist I cleaned the racv then
I tried new racv also cleaned the throttle body
but the problem with low idle is there
I had the problem before swapping the IM and now too (after swapping IM)

Did you adjust the idle air flow like dodo said in the first post??

my problem only appeared after the swap, as far as im aware... im thinking maybe i failed at bleeding the coolant, since that seems to be the first step for 'erratic honda idle' on google

Yes I did the adjustment of the idle screw, first a half turn then a full turn but the problem didn't go away
Maybe I will try again in the near future

not an actual problem but might be in the near future. The last weeks i move the car every 2-3 days a week, so i have noticed that when there are 4-5 days of no use, when i start in the morning the idle is at 1500rpms (typical) and then in 1-2 seconds it will drop almost suddenly for 200rpms and will work from there until hot (gradual decline to the 750rpms). What i mean is that it hasn't got a linear function in this drop. What might be?

I too have this problem ! Did or does anyone know the solution ? And i have adjusted the idle screw ?

does this happen to you after frequent use of the car?

Yes it does. But i think that i have solved my problem and took a bit of lag away at lower revs too.

I took the vac off the fuel pressure regulator.

Something interesting that happened to me was after not driving (or starting the car) for about 1 month and a half; for the first few hours of driving no matter whether the engine was cold or warm the idle speed would vary between 1000 and 2000 rpm once a second. As soon as I but on some throttle it would go away. Bear in mind this is a stock D14. Must've been the RACV getting stuck and then unstuck or something I don't know but it's gone now and hasn't come back. I was hoping it wouldn't go so I had an excuse to clean it out and fit my Y8 IM to be honest...

so we should beware of the unfrequent use of the car and not the overuse
I have to change the oil tomorrow and move the car a bit, I am with the same gas tank for over a month
