that is due to the iac valve located on your throttle body opposite of the firewall, remove it (four bolts 5/16 or 8mm), once the iac valve is removed, remove the magnet actuator at the end which has two phillips driven screws. once you remove the magnet actuator you'll notice the valve sticking out, turn it back and forth, it should turn freely, if it doesnt spray carb' cleaner in the valve until the valve spins freely, make sure valve is completey dry before putting it back. hope this helps

@DiAbOLiCPeNtaToNiC well was his 95 civic the exact same model as yours? if yours was an automatic and his was a standard then it will not work. What you want to do is clean the iacv with some carb cleaner rinse it out let it dry and then reinstall. If surging persists then check all other probable causes: vacuum leak, bleed coolant, etc. If it still persists and you have done everything else, then it is your iacv. you will need a new one. That is what was wrong with mine.

(d16z6 or d16y7 or whatever yours may be) as for the vacuum leak: if you take the intake off and plug up the hole going into the iacv and if it stops surging and idles normal then it is NOT a vacuum leak. i would suggest getting a new iacv specific to your model. kragen sells them for about 200$.

guys i have a question. my ph16 engine (local phil engine civic 96) has a bad idling. my idle stays on 1500rpm with that weird sound and the smell of the gasoline. i already bought a surplus RACV. but i think it broke up. that's why i have a bad idling.

i fixed the problem months ago lol it was the iacv. i had realized that the standard and automatic idle air control valves cannot be used interchangeably. i just got a new iacv and bam it worked :D

my problem on this video was i got the wrong iacv. one was for standard which cost a lot less compared to the automatic. once i got the iacv specific to my model it did not surge anymore
