Ok guys just converted to obd1 with my accord f23a1 auto to H23a vtec using the old f23 trans. The problem i am having is on cold start up the idle surges 1-2k then after 5-10 surges evens out, but still high(around 1200rpm). when i put it into gear it jumps up and stays up. Under brake or powersteering load too. I am using a obd2 to obd1 custom split harness from boomslang w/ a p28 and my f23a1 ecu just to run the trans, a 95 h23 upper plenum. Im using the blue tops TB.

Hard to tell.. Could be either an IACV issue, improper tuning, FITV (if applicable), or a simple vacuum leak anywhere in the system - could be from a vacuum line, to a leak in the intake manifold gasket causing it. Could be a variety of things. You're going to have to do a little more poking around.

Try spraying starter fluid in areas of suspected leaks, if idle raises or any changes, then you know that's where the leak is. Another thing you can try if you have the resources is get a vacuum/pressure leak test kit, Harbor Freight carries them for like $16.
