Many thanks for this ! Just cleaned out the IACV and did the K-Tuned IAAV delete as well after seeing your follow-up. Mine also had the issue of the revs bouncing between tick over and around 3,000 rpm after non being driven in ages. Last time a good VTEC session cleared it, but wouldn't fix it this time, so I had to clean the IACV. It wasn't too bad for a 53 plate, but I did find a piece of Aluminium swarf inside the IACV which must have been occasionally jamming the rotating part, so cleaned it all out. One of the hardest parts was pulling off the coolant lines, and undoing the TB studs and nuts after nearly 20 years of installation! I did take out my Tegiwa CAI and battery to get easier access, as I also had a hydraulic clutch issue to fix, and the clutch bleed point is right below the TB, so two birds with one stone. Sucked out all the old sludgy clutch fluid with a vacuum brake bleeder, and refilled with new DOT 3, and clutch now working again! Took the opportunity to install an Acuity TPS sensor I've had for ages, and a Tegiwa thermal TB PTFE gasket. It now ticks over like a dream, and hasn't been like this since around 2005. The Honda dealer used to blame my Hondata KPro for the surging LOL ! Top tip for anyone carrying this out down under - you can get the 5 point torx bits for the IACV from you local Supercheap - 'Toledo Torx Bit Set 5 Point' to save having to slot the bolt heads with a Dremel

Great stuff mate!! You've been busy but its better to do all those things in the same area and hopefully never have to go back. Dealers make any excuse they can once they see a mod on a car. Enjoy mate

Hey thanks a lot. My ep3 k20a3 was doing this but a lot worse. Eventually it died. Today I tapped it with a hammer during the carb cleaner process. I could not separate the throttle body from the Lower unit. I have Philips screws not bolts like yours :( and they're oxidized. But my car doesn't idle 1500 any more and no more surge.

I don’t think it’s necessary to remove the actuator portion from the valve in order to clean the rotating assembly. No intake air/carbon can pass thru the bearing shaft to the sensor/actuator. Please comment why you remove that, I think the anti-tamper screws are an indicator it doesn’t need removed to service the valve.

I replaced all the sensors and it's still giving me p0505 code. And it idles rough. I did an engine swap and I used the old crankshaft sensor, do you think that could be it? I swapped from a k20a3 to an k20a, when I got the engine the guy said it should all bolt up. It did but I didn't change crankshaft sensor.
