::2000 Civic CX (manual)::

100% Stock

Is there a trick here? All the posts i've read say 'Oh, just 4 bolts and the 2 coolant lines, takes like 15-20 mins. to remove & reinstall,' however upon closer inspection, i see the 4 bolts that secure it aren't exactly out in the open. It almost looks like i'd have to take the fuel rail thing & the injectors off just to get to the bottom 2 bolts, and the air filter etc. to get @ the top 2.

I'd love for someone to point out where i'm missing the obvious, easy solution, so that i, too, can sit @ a stoplight w/out my idle surging, or simply start my car w/out having to rev it to keep from dying.

A manual would be great, but i don't have one, the car is new, and i have to fix these mechanical issues before i can pony up $60-70 for a helms.

:Cliff Notes:
What's the procedure for removing/reinstalling the IACV on a 2000 civic cx 5-spd? Do other parts have to come off 1st?

 

The bolts are directly on the back of the intake manifold. might have to use a wrench to get to them

 

I can not seem to determine where is is exactly.
Any photos

 

ratcheting wrenches

since u have a y7 (I assume) I would take the tb and intake off gain a little more access
