I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

IACV

Post by sfc » August 23, 2005

Since robry apparently didn't make this post last night like he was supposed to...

K, here's the dealio:

If the car is up to temperature, and I sit at a light/am idling for say... a minute or longer, I get a CEL. If I rev to say... ~1500 rpm, the car won't hold that rev, it'll just fluxuate up and down like 500rpm. The CEL says it's the IACV. I'm wondering if anyone has had this, and if it is in fact a bad IACV. It only does it again, when the car is up to operating temp, and then left to idle for a while. If I turn the car off and then back on it's fine until I'm stuck idling again at a light or what have you.

that sounds like an idle air control valve problem, remove it and spray some brake cleaner on it, common honda issue....it gets dirty, also, sometimes you'll have bouncy idle in that case hope that helps :wink:

clean your iacv then if it proceeds check your IM gaskets and vaccum lines. sounds liek asmall leak or just a dirt iacv.


if your running boost like i am you need a missing link. my map read boost tongiht and had a shit fit. and the iacv was freaking out also.

call advance or autozone too.

Anything's cheaper than dealerships, but call them just so you know.
