specific year is uknown but its a jdm b16a sir ...i will try cleaning IACV ..yes CEL is on but its been on since i had the car probably something else is throwing the code too.

Pull the codes, reset the ECU, crank/run engine, and check for codes again. Repeated codes are worthy of troubleshooting.

Did you pull the codes first?

Former User

Next time the CEL turns on while driving, pull over, leave the engine running, and jump the service connector to pull the codes.
