Great vid! It's the best and funniest DIY for replacing the IACV! I did mine around the same time. So the screws attaching the IACV to the throttle body are 5 star security screws, and the ones attaching the IACV sensor to the valve are JIS #2 screws, not Phillips. They're Japanese. It's a much tighter fit that's less likely to strip than with a Phillips. Once I figured that out, I just bought a set of 2 bits for $7 on Amazon, put them in my ol' impact driver and they all came right out! I believe you can use JIS for Phillips (but Phillips on JIS will strip)
