anyone had to adjust their FITV after CDA upgrade?

tbh you might just need to take it out for a run to sort the hunting idle - i have had a mild case of this once or twice when changing coolant and thats after resetting and cleaning the fitv sometime previous. I found it cleared after up a few miles of driving. My thinking was it might be that the coolant hadnt completely made its way to the iacv or fitv

anyway it worked for me

run out did no good except make the car filthy

clean now though, and I cleaned the IACV as well - still no different. next on the cards is to re-do the coolant.

When does it bounce? Cold or warm?

seems to hunt when warm, but idles far too high straight away. its now getting worse with the colder weather, was hunting to 3.5k in a queue in other day, sounded like it was bouncing off the launch control every 2/3 seconds

looked like a right tit (nothing new there).

the Hondata says its programmed for about 1.5k on cold and around 0.8 on warm, but changing that has no affect - checked the throttle cable as well and that seems set up ok, not set too tight or too high.

going to swap the tb for a spare and finally re-do the coolant tonight hopefully.

The coolant temp sensor. I've had two problematic ones now. One on a 4th, one on the 3rd (Both the same part for the record as well). They'll have you hunting high and low (Any Aha fans out there?!) if they're troublesome.
