for those of you that have an irradic idle and are annoyed with it heres how you clean and fix the problem.
IACV = Idle Air Control Valve
step one: locate your IACV it looks like this and on D series engines its mounted on the rear of the intake manifold near the throttle body, and on F series engines its mounuted towards the front of the car on the intake manifold near the throttle body.
Step two: remove it, all you need to do is take the 2, 12mm bolts out, disconnect the electrical connection, and your heater lines that run to it. (note put a rag on the heater lines so it doesnt spill everywhere)
Step three: take some brake cleaner or carb cleaner and spray out the screen, which as you can see is very clogged on my 180K+ D15b8.
NOTE you can also take off the bottum part and inspect the gasket to make sure its clean and dirt free, and in my case it was
Step four: Let it dry, then reconnect your electrical connection, your heater lines, and your bolts and BAM your done.
cuz my car has a weird idle sometimes, almost like there is a vaccum line d/c. and my idle sits high then drops occasionally. then goes back up. and then sometimes its fine.

yea my piece of shit sedan does that to, but it seems like when i get on the gas, it likes to stumble. i changed the plugs and distributor cap, with no results, so looks like im going to the store to buy some cleaner

i just did this on my 91 crx si. the 2 hoses attached to this thing were a bitch to get off after i removed the clamps, so i cut them. the hoses are long enough so you can still reconnect them to the valve no problem. just cut off a little though. i used simple green to clean it and it work wonders. good diy info.
My 93 Accord EX with the fluctuating RPM at idle issue (worse during warm weather). I replaced the O2 sensor on the exhaust manifold, tune up, fuel filter, and cleaned the IACV. After cleaning the IACV, the issue got worse. I was told there was another O2 sensor. However, I traced the exhaust pipe, can't find any more. I am at a loss. :bash Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Replaced fuel pump and relay under dash. Pump works if I jump terminals 5 to 7 but not normally. I re-replaced relay, same problem. Any idea where to go next? Thanks
I have a problem with my 02 Honda passport whenever I lock my car in a bad area while driving whenever I park the car and press unlock button on my door my alarm goes off
I recently went through my old pictures. In this video the car was already making around 380hp. I desperately needed to get rid of the excessive crankcase pressure as the oil was getting pushed-out from everywhere. So I had (2) 10AN fittings welded to the valve cover for a catch can set-up. It...
2 years back the bonnet of my DC2 Integra Type-R wasn't latched properly and flew up on the highway.
Ever since then I've been facing many different problems as a result, mostly damage to the body.
I've given my car to a few body shops who weren't able to sort the leak and stuffed it up even...
