Honda IAC valve cleaning & How to clean Throttle Body on Honda: Throttle body removal for cleaning

[@donniev8181]

This is by far the best 7th generation Honda accord throttle body cleaning video online. Not only are the instructions great but the specifics surrounding the throttle cable adjustment nut is priceless.

​@@DIYAutoworksNGmy cruise control linkage broke, the plastic eye piece, so now im going to use the Dorman 977-100 kit to replace it. You are the only person I've seen that did a step by step process dealing with the 03 Honda throttle body. Much appreciated, thank you.

[@aaronsloan1523]

You're welcome!

[@weeyumzzz94]

Super helpful! Especially the last part about removing air from coolant system. According to my mechanic, that sometimes is the root cause for idle issues. Also, rather than removing the negative battery terminal, one could also briefly remove the ECU (Electronic Control Unit) fuse in order to reset the ECU -- then do the 3000rpm idle re-learn procedure.

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Thanks! Yep. You got it on removing the ECU fuse!

[@captainwho1]

Or perhaps use a scan tool to reset?

[@nanfwangdabiring1520]

Thanks a lot for sharing this, though mine is slightly different 2006 model but it really helped me out sometimes after watching these educative vids it gives us an edge over those technicians who'll want to do it anyhow

Awesome video. Definitely well explained, very good illustration and teaching. Great trick using the two bolts on the radiator hoses. I feel like I can do this job and that is what I like, to feel confident and willing to do a maintenance job on my car. I like to learn a thing or two and have a true visualization to understand what i'm doing. Great job.

[@giselleplantbasedvegan9174]

Thank you for a very thorough video! I would definitely take some photos of before I detach anything. You make it look so simple. I need to get this done! Can I do it?

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Thanks for the compliments! You doing it, depends on how comfortable you are with tools and working on cars. If you're just starting out with DIY, it may be better to have someone do it. An easier alternative would be cleaning it on the car... In the end, it's definitely not hard, it's just that you're the one who knows your level of competence for such a job.

[@schifoso]

I cleaned an IACU, but still had a slight surging idle issue. I then removed it and completely disassembled it, getting at the actuator (for lack of a better term) inside which wasn't spinning freely. I did a better cleaning and that stopped the slight sticking it would usually get during full rotation. The result was no more surging idle. Can't remember exactly, but I think I had to use a think cutting disc on a dremel to make slots for a flat screwdriver to get the two bolts off so I could get at the actuator.

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Bravo! 👌🏼

[@joshaguiar5487]

When you say surging idle, do you mean like the rpms would increase ever so slightly then back down or do you mean like it was just a feeling you had when sitting in the drivers seat? I'm having an issue where my rpms don't move at all but literally I feel an intermittent roughness for a sec then feels normal but it's repetitive in that way. I was thinking of doing the whole cleaning of my throttle assembly. Note my 2.4l has 153k and I just did the pcv valve as well and spark plugs are healthy

[@schifoso]

Surging as in the engine speed varies.

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

@joshaguiar5487 surging would be more bouncy than the slight movements. You basically get that if when a car is misfiring. I agree cleaning your TB and IACV (if equipped) are good next steps.

[@joshaguiar5487]

@DIYAutoworksNG alright thank you. Guess that'll be this weekends plans lol

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Hello sorry, are you asking if it will be easier to replace the TB given that the cruise control connector is broken?

[@victorolaosebikan]

Great video and I can compliment you enough. However, I'll like to confirm if Carb cleaner can replace Throtle body dedicated cleaner as used in this video. Especially on an electronically controlled throttle box (I have a 2005 V6 accord). Thanks

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Thanks mate! Throttle body cleaner is best for use on throttle bodies. Carb cleaner is a hasher chemical and can remove the protective coating that some throttle bodies have. I used carb cleaner because I just couldn't get throttle body cleaner at the time.

[@ronlam3654]

Very impressive. I would not dare to take apart the throttle body and can't put it back together. I just clean with the throttle body attached

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Thanks. One step at a time. Cleaning on vehicle is also good!

No. The 2007 is drive-by-wire and they do not have IACV's. Thanks for the compliment!!!

[@CHIBA280CRV]

@@DIYAutoworksNG I believe the idle is computer control..

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Both Drive-by-cable and by-wire are computer controlled. The main difference is that DBW which are electronically controlled are able to manage very fine adjustments of the throttle body butterfly plate, thus there isn't a need for an IACV.

I have a 2007 Honda accord with throttle cable. Please reconfirm your information about Honda switching to drive by wire for the Honda accords and at what year.

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

What region is your Accord manufactured for?

[@captainwho1]

How was the fast idle after you did this? On my 96 Honda Civic EX A/T there seems to be a weird combination of mechanical/ECU control where the fast idle is entirely at the mercy of the bimetallic spring and its current state of calibration (or lack thereof) and that is apparently set at the factory but I believe as the IACV gets old it can get out of whack and require adjustment of the range plate by loosening those two screws that are in slotted holes on the range plate. Also, I noticed you didn't remove the electrical coils so that you could rotate the valve shaft over its full range back and forth while cleaning to make sure that it is fully freed up. There is also a test to do where you make sure that +12V across the close terminal and open terminal works properly to fully close and open the valve. Thanks for the video. These service manuals are not really explaining this stuff fully any more probably because they just want to sell us expensive replacement parts.

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

I did the idle relearn procedure immediately, so idle was same as before. Yea, I generally don't do the aggressive service. I just clean and put it back. I hear you! These companies hide as much as they can. You can't even get service manuals for the recent Honda🙄 Thanks for the compliment! Thanks for the compliment!

[@k.r1914]

Where is the mass airflow sensor on this car? Mine is exactly the same and most videos on KZbin have it located right on top of the air filter box. Not sure where mine is so this would be very helpful info for me. Ty for your time.

Do you think that cruise control linkage piece could be changed without taking the throttle body off? The black plastic eye that holds the end of the cable snaps over time due to heat. Dorman makes a replacement kit, im just curious if I need to remove the throttle body to do the repair? Thanks for the video

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Can't say for sure. Would have checked for you but I've sold the vehicle. My gut is that the throttle would have to be removed.

You're welcome

[@Efn.merikk]

Do you think this is worth a shot trying if my accord is throwing code p0511? Or just replace ?

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

It's worth a shot. Could also be caused by excessive EGR buildup, dirty throttle body, a restricted MAF or intake leak. Good to also rule out poor contacts etc in the IACV wiring/connector. Generally, because of the close relationship with the EGR, if you go the cleaning route, it makes sense to clean the 3 if buildup is suspected.

[@brennenyenokida5057]

How did you just tug the throttle body? What if it remains stuck?

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Keep tugging 🤣. Seriously, if it remains stuck you can tap on it with something padded to break the seal.

[@karlozmalachi6964]

Great video. Is there a IAC for the 2008 crv? Next video... How to clean IAC and Throottle body junk from light color pavers...

No IACV on the 2008 CRV as I believe Honda switched to DBW throttle body's in 2006. You cracked me up with the next video. But seriously, I should have done better. I now place a sheet of carton to catch the dirt. I used it in this other throttle body cleaning video kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6SrcpKipainbJY

[@leloh]

Currently i am having issues with my 2008 honda accord 2.0 engine, it's hard to start and the acceleration does not get past 3500, scanning it brings a P0365 code, i have changed the camshaft sensor, but still have same issue. I need your help 12:33

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Other causes of a P0365 apart from the CPS include, a faulty starter, weak battery and shorts or poor contacts either in the CPS or starting system circuit. Can you describe the hardstarting you're having?

[@toshibahomeschool5704]

What if you dont do the learn procedure? Do you get codes???

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Nope. Car may run rough for something till the ECU relearns the idle. I've observed on some Toyota, depending on how you drive, you may have a higher idle speed than normal. I've noticed it's less of an issue with Honda for example.

[@No_Transitory]

My MAF sensor is placed differently. But my biggest question is how difficult was it to remove the screws that was holding the IAC to the throttle body

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Not difficult after I tapped them. Old technique for removing screws/bolts that won't budge.

[@dumb280zpat]

Found this video while trying to find a solution for my stuck bolts. I'll try tapping some more

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Fingers crossed it works. Do let us know. Just ensure you use the appropriate size of screwdriver too. Should fit snug with no play or wiggle room.

[@dumb280zpat]

Unfortunately they were crazy rusted on. I did the dremel slice so it'd accept a big flat head, after that didn't work I used the dremel to slice the head off the screw, and then had to work it back and forth finally getting it past the rust and off. Picked up some new stainless Allen heads bolts so never again! Btw, they're M5 coarse

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Thanks for sharing. Happy you got it out finally. Stuck screws can be pain!

[@cryeredd7563]

You took care not to get carb cleaner on the electrical components for the iacv, but you didn't take the same care not to get carb cleaner into the opening for your map sensor. I learned that mistake the hard way

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

You mean the MAP sensor? But I only cleaned the opening of the intake manifold with a rag sprayed with carb cleaner...

[@nimster64]

Great video. How many pounds do we torque the nuts to? And if I use the original gasket will it leak

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

16ft lbs or 22Nm. For the mounting bolts/nuts. I reused the original gasket, now there's some dust collecting around it but no wetness or seepage.

Not that different. Main difference is that you won't have the cables since the car is drive by wire ie has an electronic throttle body.

[@turthrex1181]

Is there no gasket on the back of the throttle body?

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

There is. Its the green thing you see on the rear face of the throttle body. Since I didn't have a replacement, I opted to leave it in place and not bother separating it from the throttle body.

[@logmaster27]

What on earth was that piece of foam in the IAC? Is that supposed to be there???

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Not at all! Was most likely sucked in through the air intake!

[@flip-pin-eh]

When I took off the black electrical unit a black o ring fell out. Is it suppose to go back in to the IAC valve? I do t know where it fell off from

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Is it the same Honda you are working on? Are you referring to the black gasket I peeled off in the video or something else? Knowing the exact model and year you are working on will help. That said, usually there's a gasket/o-ring between the IACV & throttle body.

[@flip-pin-eh]

@@DIYAutoworksNG it’s a 2003 Honda Element. I’m referring to a round O- ring not the gasket you peeled off. I didn’t see that you had one in yours. The prong is broken. I’m not sure if there a replacement. That being said, I couldn’t get the iAC valve off since the screws are sealed. Now I put it back together without the o ring but my car won’t start now

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Thanks for coming back. Still trying to ascertain the location of the o-ring in question. Did this fall off when you separated the throttle body from the engine? Since you said you were not able to loosen the IACV, I'm a bit confused on the black part you took off. Is it the black electrical part where the IACV connector bolts into? The one that's held by torx screws? The part I refer to above was not removed in my procedure. Either way, the o-ring will have to be replaced. I would imagine that it's absence is causing a significant vacuum leak that has resulted in the no-start condition.

[@flip-pin-eh]

@@DIYAutoworksNG thank you for getting back to me. Yes it’s the black part with the magnetic rotating thing, I used a torn screw to take it off. I think the o ring fell out when I took that off but not sure. I figured out why it didn’t start. For some reason the battery was drained. I still get high idle while only in park which is why I was trying to clean it

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Good progress. Did you do an idle relearn procedure after cleaning?

[@sss....]

Should I do this to the same car if it the idle Is rough first thing in the morning and at times car switches off wen I put into drive or even rev it and let go.thanks

[@DIYAutoworksNG]

Could be a number of things, is the check engine light on? If its not, depending on when last you did so, try to do a general tune up cleaning the throttle body inclusive. Others include MAP, MAF sensors etc.

It should be around $350-$450 USD, for a brand new OEM replacement. However it depends on where you get the part from. By the way there shouldn't be a need for a replacement, you can just clean and follow the procedures and it'll work just as new. Definitely beats replacing the whole part.

[@MegaWetbrain]

Does anyone know where the hell anyone can find accurate info on the CRV 2014 2.4L petrol engines I am having real difficulty finding support. I an experiencing a low labouring feeling shaky idle. The IAC is NOT serviceable. It is a sealed unit. I am. Good plug. Good coil packs. New air filter. 80k km I got injectors serviced thinking could be them... Cleaned MAF cleaned MAP. With MAF cleaner. Throttle body clean. This is THE MOST frustrating car experience i have had to date. Regarding idle. I find it highly disappointing. The information is just not at all discussed. It is like no one knows how to diagnose this problem with the sealed IAC units. Sorry. But its BS. i have run by several mechanics. Lucky i havnt so far paid them for any opinions. It shouldn't be so difficult to find a video on the K24Zs IAC if it can be cleaned somehow. I have a late model 2014 CRV so i was told by dealer going off VIN # that its considered a 2015 model. It doesn't help a thing to know this. THE MOST FRUSTRATING car experience to date. I've had v6 Holden's. An Ls1 v8 Holden Calais Vx. A Toyota diesel rav4. This CRV is a piece of JUNK. The fact they hide the PCV assembly line UNDER the intake manifold. Like real helpful everything is hammed into the tightest stupidest places. It is a joke to work on. So unpleasant. Like no bonnet struts. A piece of junk weak feeling bonnet support. While you struggle to look at ans identify anything you work on under the ridiculously tight packed engine bay... A low idle that shakes the door and window if it's partially down. Sitting at about 550-600 RPM AND. no one online covers it. No service information is available genuine information. Mechanics have told me. No fault code will show up for the IAC. It's like. Come onnnnnn... You can't check a pcv hose right to its source. Without removing the whole intake manifold!? And a non serviceable IAC assembly. Gee. That's handy guys. Bravo... Just throw away shit. And no proper objective way to test this joke of an idle system. Just guess with parts. That's all these dealerships will be doing. If you're dumb enough to take to them. I've NEVER EVER had a car so disappointing. It's drive ability. The standard shocks were way too stiff. Poor sway system really. Poor performance on highways long trips suck. No cruising power. Gearing sucks. It can't handle variable loads even at highway speeds like 110/100 km. Any slight inclines even if drawn out. It can't make pick-up from 5th. You will have to manually use sports mode and kick down to at least 3rd. It just don't match any of it. Engine size to weight and gearing. It all just totally totally blows. It's annoying as to put up with and the IAC for me. Being sealed and no info. That does it for me. For sale guys. Back to Toyota for me. Forget Honda CRVs They're underpowered for the size and shape. They have annoying featurea like CMBS braking. Can turn off but still just stupid. What. A brake system and seat belt tensioner system. That scares you by braking when u don't even need it to. Lane keep assist. Who needs it. Just drive. Properly. Oh. It also makes a hard uncomfortable feeling of a shift. That I've been told by 3 auto trans guys. IS NOT a trans problems. But. Hill stop assist OR a problem with the ABS related to hill stop assist. Slightest incline. Not needed. What does it do or feel like shit that's what. Not a smooth take off. A hard bump that makes u think of feel u got yourself an auto trans problem like a TORQUE convertor issue. Not unlocking... Or a shift solenoid issue. Like valve body blocked. Pressure problems or something. It's just got LEMON! written all over it.
