Hi guys

Appreciate some help here ;)

I've just been doing some maintenance on my 91 Accord.
I unscrewed the IACV to clean with carby cleaner as it was all gunked up, cleaned it all out!.
I also sprayed some into the throttle body to clean that out too.

When i assembled it all back together and turned the car on first the idle is wayy erratic and now its very low at 300-600 and car shudders quite a bit.
I then noticed this weird noise from the withing the hood...so hard to describe, it sounds like a low pitched electronic 'droning' noise from the air intake.
I took the air filter off and I can actually hear it coming from the throttle body (listening through the air intake pipe). If i disconnect the cable from the IACV that goes to the head the sound stops.
So i did an engine code check and its 14...which means IACV problem?! :(

I think i may have gotten the cleaner into the black Denso plug unit on the IACV and stuffed it up!

I took it back out and re-cleaned it and checked it...no result.
Any suggestions guys? or any idea to find a replacement IACV?

Many thanks :)

you got code 14 coz you unplugged the IACV while the ignition was on and the ECU detected it.

its probably running crap coz you may of disloged some crap in the IACV and now its jammed somewhere else in the IACV, or simply your IACV is not working properly and need replacing

reset your ecu see if that helps. unplud the ecu fuses both ecu and ecu back up for a min or so. put it back in and let it idle for 10 mins see how she goes.
