Check the electrical connector for the IAT and the IAT itself. It is possible that it got damaged when you removed the old intake, or when reinstalling.

As my luck would have it, the voltage meter of mine just took a dump, so I coulnd't read any voltage signals on the TPS. As for the IAT sensor, I was under the impression it was on the passenger side of the motor, not on the intake? Then again I am the "newsiest of the newbies"

Would a bad IAT make my throttle act as it does?

I am kind of at a stand-still at this point. The car is 99% awesome, except when pushing the gas lightly to mid throttle.

Can you check the color of the wires on the IACV - should be BLK/BLU and YEL/BLK.

I'm having to use a different computer right now - long story - so I can't post a pic of the IAT location. It is on the drivers end of the TB between the TB and firewall. The wires to it should be GRN/BLU and RED/YEL.

Please check these....the connectors look to have the same shape in the book I have......and strange you have a code for both of these?

Ok, two pics here. One for the IAT and another for the IACV.

In the IAT the yellow line is along the vac line to the brake booster.....or I hope so.

In the IACV pic the same yellow line is for the booster......a red arrow to the IAT.

Sorry, might be confusing.

Ok, INCREDIBLE news !!! The car is now running 100%. The IAC and the IAT plugs were in fact switched. I switched those, reset the car and it runs incredibly. Check engine is gone!! WOW is all I have to say. The car sounds incredible! I am beyond excited and thank for all of you here on this forum. A very big THANK YOU!!!

I will follow up later today with a video of her running. Thanks again everyone.

I've heard that story too many times. Seems kinda silly that Honda would use plugs that were physically interchangable, so close together that the wires actually reach the wrong way around. Well, glad you got it sorted out!
