1995 LS B18B1 Idle surging when cold

[osiris19]

I've bet this has been asked many times and I've searched through clubcivic, I searched a bit on here, and I Google'd it but I haven't found much. I'm looking at aa car I'm almost set on buying. Its a 95 LS and the only problem that's been making me iffy on getting is the fact tthat when cold, the engine would surge up and down until the engine warmed up. I am confused because I don't know B-series engines at all, I've only dealt with D's in my civics. The engine only does this when cold as described by the owner. Trying to figure this out before I buy it.

FITV is dirty needs cleaning

heres my diy on how to clean it. Most critical part is probably screwing it back in. it should be tight then back it off a quarter turn. Some say they tighten it all the way but when i researched on the tightness this was the majority answer

Thanks, I figured it was the FITV because that's what it was on my civic but I wasn't sure if it was the same for b-series.

Dylan is probably right, but check over your vacuum lines as well...

You could delete the FITV as well, either buying or making a blockoff plate and swapping the coolant lines around.

What's the advantage of this?
