Default Idle question (iacv plug?) em1

hello im having idle problems on my EM1 and i read the DIY : https://honda-tech.com/forums/showth...highlight=iacv

however, i cant find the IACV screw to set it to 800rpm according to the reading, i cant even find the IACV plug, if any1 can tell me where its located on an EM1, id appreciate it. thanks!


ps. the problem with my car is soemtimes it idles at 2000 or sometimes it idles at about 500 and usually never in between. this has been recent, it normally idles around 800rpm.

the idle adjustment screw is on the passenger side of the throttle body

i think you should start by cleaning the IACV. There's no reason to mess with the idle adjustment screw.
