HONDA IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE FIX!

[@gypsychristo6727]

You have no idea how much this helped me. I have to use my Honda Civic to travel 600 miles a month just to see my kids. So when things break down I can't afford to hire a mechanic. Videos like this are a life saver. Thank you so much for the tips. Much love from Ohio. 💜

[@SUKISUKIxSF]

Appreciate the effort as a fellow parent. Hope all is well in your travels with the Honda

Just letting you know this video is still helping people. My car was idling at 2000rpm when cold then revving up and down between 1 and 2k when warm. I cleaned the throttle body but neglected this part. I then bought a new map sensor then lamba sensor before I found this video. The car is a 1996 civic ej9 which was sat for 5 years rotting away. Its now on the road and purring like a cat. Thank you 👍

[@FRANK_FENCEPOST_FROID]

I put all these parts on my 96 motor trying to fix low idle. Now I have high idle and the same rev that you do. I have all new everything and it didn't go away. In the garage today.

If your Screw is starting to strip, USE a Rubber Band. Put it over screw, then push screw down onto it and unscrew it. Works every time....

[@1sttobylopez]

Can you just start off with the rubber band trick and not strip them at all? And how wide does a rubberband have to be? It just brings up too many questions

[@johntorres5860]

Tape works great too

[@gypsychristo6727]

I use this trick too. Works every time.

[@Golfsmithin]

Nice tip

[@MikeKollin]

@@1sttobylopez Yes, that's a good point!! I would highly recommend it.

[@cavemanjoe7972]

Best thing for Philips *and* flathead screws is to buy a cheap gunsmithing screwdriver set. Way more sizes of each so it's more likely that you'll have a bit that fits perfectly, which means no more stripped screw heads.

[@jayhaywire]

I just picked up a D17a to put in my em2 beater this weekend. I'm just going to pull the IACV and clean it before I swap the motors. keep up the vids, subbed

[@douglasgarthwaite5955]

Its really not my fault. I was left unsupervised! however I cleaned the K&N filter and put it on a bit damp I suppose and then the high idle gremlin showed up. Thanks for helping me get 'em.

[@Ndzzle]

idle surge is typically the IACV. that little bar inside gets seized if it's been sitting a while.

[@tocadadj2951]

My car was sitting for a while and had the idle surge when we started it. Does the bar seizing, can it be fixed with a fuel cleaner put into the gas tank?

[@99ron30]

Warning: Make sure you put your idle air control valve the correct way round!. On my 2002 Honda CRV 2.0ivtec I put it on the wrong way, and coolant flooded into the intake whilst it was running. Fucked the engine completely!. My biggest car mistake ever. :(

[@Rafaelx93]

Changed my Idle air control Valve and it fixed my problem. Weird thing is my IAC wasnt dirty but the senor was shot dead. But replacing the IAC Did the job

Had the same idling problem BTW

Good cars easy to work on its only 30 years old.lol

[@YoStu242]

As if my repairs would ever go as smoothly lol. Btw. was the check engine light caused by low egr flow because that's the fault with mine

[@ProBballChamp]

Correct me if I am wrong, but shouldn't you clear the code and then see if it comes back to ensure that you fixed the problem?

[@SERGMOTIVEGARAGE]

in this case the idle had a clear problem you could see, so after doing this i knew it was fixed because the idle was fixed

[@jasonvolkov7069]

I have idle issue in 02 civic lx just replaced radiator running good minus the surging. Great advice on taking the whole throttle body off IAC screws are SOB to take off Ty

[@daveygjuanvalldez8981]

Great Video! I have 2000 Honda CRV. I sprayed some of the outside of the throttle body but idle tries to shut off when turning steering wheel so not sure if that is related or I should get more into the throttle body. It does have rough idle. It could be wiring I guess but the quick fix will be to clean out the IAC valve. Thanks.

[@canuk88]

I did this and it fixed my idle problem. But after driving for 15 mins, the check engine light came on and it started driving really choppy- like it wasnt getting enough fuel. When i put it in neutral and open the throttle by hand (or with the pedal), it is not smooth, causing the engine to bounce when it rapidly fluctuates rpms. Any ideas?

[@1naequan]

Did you fix issue?

[@canuk88]

@@1naequan Yes, i had to order a new idle air control valve. i ordered one for $15 off walmart and its still working like a charm. auto store were quoting 130+

Great video and very helpful for getting the throttle body off. Thanks.

[@مقاطعمتنوعة-ت4ن]

You have to position the camera on the working area

[@1sttobylopez]

This is the first of your videos I've ever seen and I'm kind of in a hurry so I didn't see the previous video, so my question is what was the idle doing? was it a rough idle or was it the surging idle? Because my Honda has a rough idle and I've never had this check engine light on. been knowing that I need to eventually change out the valve because it stuck closed the other day and the engine would turn off every time I stopped loosened it up with some seafoam but did not take it off to clean. The idle air control valve is only like $16 on eBay do you recommend buying a cheap one?

[@yaboydee8829]

hey serg you shud buy a little cheap computer scanner that just tells you the code they go for cheap on harbor frieght bro im surprised you dont have one already your a great mechanic anyways blessingsz keep up the great work your vids are extremely useful and helpful thankyou very muchhhhhhhh

I used foaming Super Clean (with wire brushes and pipe tobacco cleaners) and got more of the carbon out especially in the tight areas. Make sure to wipe Super Clean off and do not let it dry. I went through two cans of CRC Throttle Body cleaner with poor results.

[@FRANK_FENCEPOST_FROID]

I have a 96 motor and I have put all throttle body and sensors brand new. Now I have idle surge 900 to 2500 when warm. Cold it idles at 2800. In the garage now 9-12-24. I just called and mechanic is still working trying to find out whats going on. I had low idle first and was trying to fix that and it all stared when I put this new part on it.

So whats up when my Honda hesitates a little when accelerating from over run (or going from high vacuum to low) I'm guessing MAP sensor, any thoughts? cheers👍👍

[@markm4434]

[@raymondnoodels7775]

And if that doesnt work..dont buy one online. I got one in a honda box. It had a piece of plastic inside..with a magnetic coating. Ended up having to take the back off the iacv...it had rust on the magnet. Never ran into one that was that bad.

Is it just the rubber o ring type gasket the goes between?

Is the idle air control valve my problem? can you see my video because it's hard to explain it .

[@greatjuankenobi217]

would it be the same for a 2004 acura tsx? my idle is pretty rough

[@SergeyKick]

Hi , when the you start the engine and it is on idle the throttle is closed from where the air comes to system ?

[@garonjohnson5922]

Basically yes. The IACV pulls air into the intake via a tunnel that goes under the throttle plate and opens up on the other side. That's how it bypasses the throttle plate.

Are you in socal? It's hard to find help with civics and trust worthy mechanics.

[@aTastyBiscuit]

Hi, I have a 2000 Honda Civic Coupe with a D15B. I've been getting uneven idle and frequent shakes while driving, along with an engine code, so I decided to bring it to a local mechanic. The engine code came up as P1022, concerning the TPS sensor and its low input, so the mechanic suggested having it changed to see if it would correct the issue. Afterward, it drove better but I would still notice tiny lags and shakes. Eventually, the engine code came back and the uneven idle and shakes became more frequent. I brought it back to the mechanic and had the TPS taken out for voltage calibration. It drove better and then again, the issue came back. The wiring looks fine and the TPS sensor is the correct part number for the engine. As of now, the P1022 code is still showing up and at this point, all the mechanic can suggest is a faulty idle air control valve or even the ECU based upon other's experience. I'm hoping someone can provide some insight on what the cause could be before I spend more on parts and labour.

[@davedaman2798]

First thing to do is check your coolant level and make sure you bleed it. Second would be to clean out your throttle body and IAC valves and make sure your at the correct adjustment for the IAC. Third reset your ECU. Good luck!

[@hegeliandetective1034]

I have the same issue Atasty. 2000 Honda Civic Lx, with a D15B non-vtec swap. Couldn't use the crank position sensor, because of the lack of the magnetic pickup on the crank sprocket (none on the JDM, and the USDM wouldn't fit from the D16, couldn't find a replacement for it yet, I've been bypassing it, but I'd like to find a D15B7 crank sprocket with a magnet to make it run with a crank sensor correctly).

[@aTastyBiscuit]

@@hegeliandetective1034 that's weird! have you checked on ebay to see if anyone would have a compatible part? i don't think i've had any issues with the crank position sensor. for me, it's just something that has to do with the tps/tps voltage/wiring. my problem seems to go away after a few mins of driving so i haven't brought it to another shop as of yet. i hope your civic runs soundly soon!
