Hi,

My accord vibrates at idle and it's pretty annoying.

I searched the forum and saw that I should clean my IACV.
I located it, unscrewed the bolts but can't get it out...the hoses are so old.
The screen of the IACV is definitely clogged.

I obviously need to fully remove the part to clean it out, correct?

Thanks!

 

Here's some information which will get you going, courtesy of the guys from FAQ's

Are you dealing with the normal 4 banger blurred vision vibrations, or is this the teeth rattling - parts falling off type?
You may be dealing with another issue.

Thank you!
I dont think is the "parts falling off type."

The steering wheel and dashboard vibrate.

Once I slightly hit the gas, the vibrations are gone. At idle, they start again.

The IAVC is clogged but, like I sad, I can't get the hoses out :/

 

or maybe is your car just idling a little low??
if so adjust it up a bit...

 

can also be worn out motor mounts

 

Yeah, a mechanic did say I need motor mounts. Will take care of that ASAP.
But should I clean the IACV and adjust the FITV?

 

If your idle wanders and has difficulty maintaining 700rpm, then I would say yes. The stiff, brittle hoses can be problamatic, so be careful you don't "break yourself into a corner"

Is this an Automatic, or a Standard Transmission.??

It's standard.
Yeah, when the car idles it sometimes feels like it's going to die.

Some people cleaned the ICAV without unplugging the two hoses.
I guess they only cleaned the two holes.
Is that OK to do?

 

yeah, thats fine. Im telling you tho, those bad motor mounts have alot to do with this
