Vacuum leak maybe?? Doesnt the spacer block an emissions component? I dont know but try resetting the ecu.

No it doesnt it just places a space beteween the throttle and throttle body. the compontes you're talking about just get moved over more everything still attaches to the throttle body

You need to get Honda OEM gaskets. The ones that are provided are junk and leak.

the only i way can get it to stop fluctuating is by setting the throttle linkage to 2g in neutral..then in D it goes to 1.5g, but after taking it for a ride then the car races up 3 grand in neutral. what the hell.... Help!

when i installed my OBX Throttle Body spacer, i used the gaskets that they came with.
did you scrap off the old gasket? and make sure you tightened the bolts down securely.
make sure there is no misangle.
because the only reason for your throttle to surge up and down when dealing with a TB Spacer, is a vacuum leak.

other than that, installing a TB Spacer requires you to adjust your idle accordingly (or not at all, depending on your atmospheric air temp).

so, use the gaskets it came with, make sure you tighten down, and make sure nothing is misaligned.

Thank you all for the advice, but i must be honest with you all..i took off the throttle spacer and placed the car back to stock ( as for as the throttle is concerned) once again thank you for your help.
