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 :)
