Alright, to make a long long story short..

I have a coolant leak (I'm not sure where yet). Upon trying to find where the leak was, the integra started to have idle surging. I tried cleaning out the IACV, but no luck. The FITV screws are stripped. So, I'm going to just buy a new IACV and FITV. Along with this I'm going to buy a new thermo, do to fluxuations in the temp guage. Now, the quesion I have is, I have few coolant hoses that I want to replace (hopefully this will fix my problem) and I'm very limited on time and cannot really wait to order things on the internet, so what should I do to replace them? Could I go to like a Lowes or Home Depot and get hoses, cut them to length and then replace the old hoses?

For reference, I've taken pictures of the IACV, FITV and a few hoses.











Thanks for all your help!

 

usually I remove the metal coolant line and just replace it with some line I buy at the parts store... just cut it to length and you'll be good... but on the smaller ones you can buy them from the dealer since they have the correct bends... what kind of idleing problems are you having?

 

i read your post again... maybe the malfunctioned thermostat has something to do with the idle since the IACV and the FITV is coolant related?

 

I have a coolant leak, upon looking for the leak, my gsr started to idle surge. So I wanted to fix the surging first. I pulled the IACV, clean it, re-installed it. Still surged. So then I went to clean the FITV, but I stripped on the screws. So, tomorrow I plan on picing up a new IACV and FITV. While I had some time, I went to the general area where the leak was coming from and pulled hoses that I either suspected were bad or were the culprit. Those hoses are located in the pictures above. So, I'd like to buy/replace thoses hoses too.

What are the part numbers for those hoses?

And thanks for the reply!

 

no problem man, I always look for the threads with little/no reply and try to help out anyways, from what I learned, it's hard to clean a IACV when it's not fuctioning... try cleaning it with the car on and spray some brake cleaner or something in the throttle body aiming towards the hole that leads to the IACV... the car will stall but just repeat the process... you can spray into the hold after the car stalls and let the solvent soak if you want... try this link and see if you can find the part numbers http://estore.honda.com/asp/logon.asp?bhcp=1#

 

I pulled the IACV and thoroughly cleaned it with Simple Green and brake cleaner. I'm just going to replace it anyways.

That link you sent me doesn't give part numbers, but will allow you to order to my closest Honda/Acura dealer... but I don't need that. I just need the numbers lol.

 

if you click the printable thing it will list all the part numbers

 

Oh, thanks.

 

no problem man... It's better to clean the IACV when it has power to it and functioning... having it off the car won't clean it completely as I heard

 

I'm just going to dish out the dough for a new one.

 

how much do they go for anyways?

 

about $200

 

yikes... i have one if you want to buy it... it's used though from my 94 LS intake manifold

 

get some samco hoses while you are at it

 

he's not worried about those hoses though...

Right.

 

Alright, so just to keep this updated, I believe the hoses I need are #7, 13, & 14.



And I need #13 and #14 in this diagram (but I can get #14 at Advance Auto Parts).



Also, I'm going to get #3 in this diagram.

 

Again, to update. I just got back from Honda and they said they can only sell me the thermostat. Apparently the other parts are Acura specific and cannot be sold through Honda.

 

they lie, they are just lazy and dont feel like looking up the part numbers. they are the same parts on the b16 on the 99-00 SI. stupid honda and acura parts people.

 

^haha that is exactly what I told them. I said that it is the same as the 99-00 civic si's. The sales guys said well its not in are database. And I was like, well can we look at the civic si part numbers. And then we went to the back and grabbed a tech and he basically said go to Acura, we can't sell you them because they are Acura parts.

Well anyways, I placed an order through Acura for pick-up next week. Thats the earliest I could get them. So now I've gotta drive an hour out of my way for these parts. And to make things worse, Advance didn't have the IACV on hand so they had to order it from their warehouse. That's suppose to come in next week also.

Cost came to 400 fricken dollars... this better fix it.
