my car wont stay idled

Are the valves not sealing properly or are they just simply not working? This could just be a valve adjustment is needed, but if they aren't working at all then. That could be a major valve-train issue.

Also, honda's have this cool little device called an ELD lol. If it has gone bad this will basically kill the power that is being supplied from the alternator which would cause these funky problems like a misfire or a rough idle until something causes the alternator to kick on because the engine is not being supplied the right voltage. I would check your voltages while idling and while revving the engine. I don't know for sure but it is worth a shot.

edit: What engine is in the civic?

a d16y7 the stock engine, and that valve is just simply not working, bc there is no idle change when i remove that spark plug wire

Could be an injector not working.

Could be the wiring to the injector.

Could be the spark plug not working.

Could be the spark plug wire.

There may be one of several things not working but you'll have to try and test each one.

You need to try and do a process of elimination to narrow the search to the actual cause.

I had an issue that sounds exactly like this one in my Pontiac. Could figure the issue out cuz I was extent focused on mechanical. It ended up being a bad wire, might want to look into that too.

FITV is the fast idle thermo valve. Common issue with Hondas with the SUGRING idle problem that you DO NOT have.

Read the complaint people b4 you post. This was already brought up 3 timers prior...

So many things. Fuel pressure regulator, vacuum line(s), TPS is off or the throttle cable needs replaced, etc. These are a mechanics dream. Find a good one or it will be, it's this, or this, well maybe it's this...Ok I got it this time it's this. 1k later...

How does it start? Do you have to crank it for a few seconds? If so, then it is more than likely fuel related as in too much. (Sorry if I missed that if you said it already.)
