HELP..!
cleaned out my iacv yesterday with carb cleaner. now when i turn the car in it goes straight to 4000rpm, then revs between 1500 and 3000. people say to adjust the idle control screw. were is this located on the d series. i have a 96 dx. Have also been told using carb cleaner can make **** go bad. did this happen to me?

hopefully you reconnected the coolant hoses to the right ports on the iacv, check for vacuum leak around the valve by spraying that carb cleaner while running the engine... if the idle changes then you have a leak. check the seal at the ports between the iacv and intake manifold. also why did you use carb cleaner in the first place? did you have an idle problem already? if so you should try spraying some wd40 in the iacv to loosen up the carbon deposits...

Re: (egtwincam)
sorry about post title my bad. yes the idle was bad in the first place and i checked the cell and it was a code 14. Was told to clean with carb cleaner. I pretty much didn't even have an idle but the car wouldn't die.

Re: (mintegra97)
you need a iacv. period. you can sometimes save the iacv by cleaning it. i'd try some wd40 and carb cleaner to loosen the carbon deposits. if that dont work just get another iacv. also when you change the iacv if you lose a lot of coolant bleed the air out of the sys...
