Brake and idle

By Honda4life
- Fri May 20, 2011 9:44 am #256036 Ok so I redid my timing yesterday because my car would idle odd. After doing my timing my car was fine. Then all a sudden it starts to idle odd again. Seems like depending on the weather my car will idle high then low. So today I unhooked my ecu so that I could reset the ecu and all a sudden when I press the brake my car will idle high a little. This is weird and never have had this kind of issue. I have a d16z6 motor if anyone is wondering. I just replaced the dizzy, tps sensor, o2 sensor, changed out the idle air control valve, cleaned the fast idle control valve, burped my coolant, and the motor was just rebuilt. Someone please help me out here. I'm not throwing any codes and there is no check engine light.

What exactly is the idle doing. is it going up and down, or just remains at a specific RPM like lets say always at 2000 rpm after warm up..
