Re: IACV bad?

Yes Im sure. The spec I have in the manual says 8-15 ohms. The reason I even cleaned the IACV and then measured its resistance was because of the idle drop issue I described. Well it was really dirty...

IACV bad?

'91 Civic EX sedan, D16A6 engine.

I cleaned my IACV yesterday. While I had it off I measured the resistance and got 1460 ohms! I read its supposed to be 8-15 ohms.

Do I have to replace it?
