I have a 2.0 FI 88 accord that is having issues idling. Its hopping between just above 1k to just below 2k. It wont idle normally anymore. I checked the PCV valve, and its good. I cant seem to locate a cracked/busted vaccum line, so I was wondering if anyone has any pointers?

 

is your coolanlt lever right? are yougetting any codes? have you cleaned your idle air controller?

check out http://www.3geez.com for more information on 3rd gen accords.

 

Im not sure about the coolant, I will check on that. The car is not getting hot though.

I have not tried pulling codes as of yet. I just made the assumtion that it was the PCV from what it was doing.

Nope, Im not even sure where to find the IAC, I will find it and check it though.

Thanks for the tips

 

remove the cover for the fast idle valve, screwin the big black valve it has 2 slots in it turn it in till cannot go further but do not force it..

 

Ok, IAC screw is tight as it will go to start. What do I clean the IAC with?
