idling

[viinnh]

hey guys i got a idling issue
it would idle at about 1.5k RPM - 2k RPM if i tap the accelerator it would go back down to about 1k then go back up to 1.5k - 2k rpm

ive had the map sensor changed from my mates working teggy and its same shit.

i went to mechanics took them 2 hrs and they said its my IACV which they cleaned. and they cleaned all these other bullshit. charged me 80$ ..

they said its the IACV but i need to order from honda. no where else.

could it be the iacv .. ? mechanic seems noob.

why would you just be changing parts and not actually testing it?
i don't understand some mechanic/ diy/ interwebz mechanics

[hmetro24]

Did he clean it at all? diy , check the diy section and clean it urslef not more than 10 15 mins

[viinnh]

yeah he took it out gave it a clean put it in same thing

just then when i was at home, i disconnected the cable coming from the iacv the idle dropped down a bit and stayed there. about 1.3k rpm. when i tap the accelerator it doesnt drop it under 1.3k then come back up like when its plugged in

so could it be this iacv ? mechanic said only honda has it have to buy genuine hes gonna call up tomorrow. Does anyone know a rough price on them or where i can get aftermarket?

yeah that sounds about right.

would you guys know if all b series iacv fits ?

edit: also just come to think of it since with the iacv plugged in the idle will drop from 1.7 ish rpm to 1 ish
with out the iacv plugged in the idle will drop to 1.5 ish but wont drop any lower. what if I unplugged it and made my idle lower if that is possible ? would that be a bad idea

[FAITHLESS]

i'm fairly sure it's individual to each different intake manifold.

dam this makes it harder seeing as its a b16a japspec

[FAITHLESS]

scratch that they are compatible. just need to make sure the mounting points are the same and that the wiring is 2 or 3 wire depending on yours.
