OK so I am a new subscriber to Eric’s video’s. Love them, very informative. I like to do things myself and save $$. My 96 Civic EX had a rad leak months back and overheated really bad. I bought a new rad and installed it. No overheating now. I have heat when I want it too. MY idle jumps up and down regularly between 900 and 1800 rpm. I bought a no spill funel and burped the radiator as per Eric’s instructions and lots of bubbles came out. The only thing I didn’t do was open the bleeder valve because I cannot find it. All the videos online of civics and other honda’s are of engines which have the throttle body facing to the passenger side. My car has the throttle body facing upwards. I checked inside the distributor cap for oil, nothing. I cleaned the throttle body, I checked the coolant for oil, nothing. I checked the oil for coolant, nothing. I did a cylinder power test and all good. I need to know where the coolant bleeder valve is so I can purge the air and stop the bouncing idle. Also I am pretty sure the iacv and fast idle valve are under the air filter housing which sits on top of the throttle body but I can’t figure out how to take of that air filter housing to access it all. Anyone have any tips? Thanks.
