i was soooo close to hittin 200k without a problem but NOOOO! after my car warms up a little and i let it go down to idle sometimes it will bog down sometimes it will totally die. what could my problem be? i figure it might be a sensor or some crap. it runs great but when i try to let it idle half the time it dies. why me?! help some one.

 

Just need to adjust it.......disconnect the IACV from the intake manifold and find the screw on the trottle body (flat head) turn it clock wise. Then attempt to start and see if the idle is higher. Once you get it high enough to keep the car running, slowly turn it down while running to 500ish rpm's and then reconnect your IACV and reset your ECU.

 

what kind of car might you guys be speaking of?? just asking cause im having the same problem with my good old 87 lude

 

Or you might need to replace the valve. This is a problem w/ all types of honda, doesn't matter what model...

 

well luckily adjusting the idle fixed me right up. now im at 200k and running like brand new. oh and btw clockwise idles it down, counter clock idles it up.
