ok well today the idle has started to become irractic and goes to 1500 and back down pretty fast. And i uno im open for some guess's i think it might be map sensor since i know the one on it is not even for a civic the previous owner had put the wrong one on i think its for a prelude but it has been working ok and today the engine has gone crazy.

that idle problem sounds more like the FITV acting up than a map sensor... pretty common issue for hondas. search for FITV cleaning and you should find all the info you need. honda-tech, google, and I know it's been covered here several times.
