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

Did it help tho?

"That was Whacked Off camera". I bet it was big boy... 😉

Watched this just to see how to take off my throttle body on my '03 Element. Need to replace my TPS and NO room while throttle body is attached. This was a very clear explanation, thanks!

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?

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.

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

how long did the relearn took

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

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.

I like the fact that you name the " Parts " when disembling 👍👍

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.

Wtf? What was that piece of plastic doing inside of the IAC? Lol

Your floor looks very clean now lol.

Supper help,i have 2006 model i was looking for this all along

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

I did this work but I made it worse

Has anyone gotten an error code P0507

If the surge continues when I step on gas up to high rpm … vroom vroom vroom is it another issue?

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.

This video just made my day... thanks so much bro

I no s te descalibro

No le limpiaste el tps 😮

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

thank you for making this video

Thank you so much. Great instructional video.

Excellent video, clear instructions. And you didn't forget to relearn throttle! 👍

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.

Its the iac valve suppose to spin mime just flaps open

You are a great teacher keep it up where is your office located

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

Very very helpful..... Apt explanation and I'm definitely following every bit of procedure as his.

How does one contact you personally?

Very informative

Whaoooo. This is detailed

How much would a throttle body replacement cost?

Nice video thanks!

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

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.

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

Thanks for your video

Never disappoint, thank you sir🙏

How different is the process for an 8th gen?

😊

This was EXCELLENT!! Thank you for such a thorough and good overview and FIX.

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

This is an excellent video. Educative, well presented and detailed.
Do you do this professionally? If yes I would love to have your contact please.

the idle re-learn procedure is the same with an 8th gen accord?

Thank u video help me a lot

Foam!?
