whats up h-t, my idle acts up everyday. when im fully stopped my needle drops to like 500rpm's and sometimes it feels like the engine wants to shut offand even when i step on my brakes at a light or whatever when im fully stopped the idle drops a lot... i have a b16, anybody has any ideas? by the way the spark plugs are good i've change them and still does the same ****, spark plug cables are good, dist. rotor new, oil is good..any ideas?

IACV

Idle Air Control Valve, have you checked it out?

 

do a search for idle problems. there are a number of post on how to fix this problem it is more than likely going to be a clogged screen on the icv near the intake manifold

I'm pretty sure it's on the Throttle Body.

I hate to ask, but when was the tast time you checked out your plugs and wires?

 

i checked the plugs and wires about a month ago thats when i replaced them and it still does the same thing

 

so anybody knows where i can find the icv??? pic or something would help since i never dealt with it...thanx

 

I'd like to know too! Is the IACV located the same place on all engines or does it depend on what motor?

 

haha im not the only huh...well i have a jdm b16..anybody??

 

damn someone has to have a pic or something.....

 

there is a thread on here about cleaning your iacv so search it also has the pics u want

i'm having the same problem on the same motor.. let us know if cleaning the IACV fixed it.. gl

 

thanx a lot guys i really appreciated....

 

to get at your iacv its better to remove the entire throttle body unless you have a 96-00 civic dx which will be in the intake mani.

with the tb off, the iacv is on the bottom of the tb and held there with 3 bolts. after removing those you can clean that with carb cleaner or something and put it back...it also may need to be adjusted some i forget how to do that but youll have to completely take it apart...well almost by unscrewing the inside.

if it's the jdm one, then it's on the top of the intake manifold, to the right near the fuel pressure regulator.

 

yes actualli my bad the fitv is on the tb and the iacv is on the manifold. likely to be the fitv though, as id check that first.

 

nah i just looked at it and is not necessary to take the tb off to get to the iacv, if this fixes my problem i will post
