I got a b16 civic and i just cleaned out the intake manifold and cleaned the IACV and replaced the thermostat. Now my idle rises up to about 1.75k revs and falls back down to 1k and then rises back up. I did a lil research and supposedly i need to check my radiator hoses for air pockets or possibly clean my FITV. Anything else that it could be(other then those stated and other then vacuum leaks)?? reps for help

just sounds like you should bleed the air pockets out and or its a vac leak..

I know you said you are aware of those problems but thats probly the issue

possible vac leak. Did you remove the intake manifold?
