Ok so my 92 EX is idling around 400rpms, and it will stall when the air is on. I searched and found that when the IACV is clogged, it will be bypassed (hose 27?) and resort to the setting left on the TB itself. How do I go about cleaning the IACV valve?

can you direct me in this pic? I havent measured the voltage/resistance yet, so I dont even know if it's even good still.

 

My fourth gen is idling rough too, bump for more info

 

just take it out.. and clean the screen on it spray it with brake cleaner..

Yep...just be careful taking the screen out to not tear it. Cleaning is only a temporary fix, sometimes it fixes the idle, sometimes it doesn't. If it doesn't then you need to replace it .

If your idle is at 400 I would up your idle to around 750-800 (which is factory spec I believe). There is a idle screw right at the throttle cable (where it is attached to the throttle body). Try this as well .

 

The idle is about 400 rpms right now. I drove through some sketchy water, do you think this could be the problem? I drove through it a couple weeks ago and the car has gotten progressively worse. I dunno, I mean I drive from Orlando to Melbourne, going 90-100 for an hour straight with no problems. As soon as I drop below 3000 rpm, the car start missing and wanting to stall at &lt;1000 rpms.

Should I be checking the rotor, plugs, or anything else?
