i had got rid of my fast idle thermal valve cause i had a bouncing idle now the problem is i have a leak from this little nipple, and i put a rubber peice and a clamp on it still leaks i need to solve this problem here's a picture of the peice coming out of the IM in the red box

 

why did you get rid of this to fix your idle problem? have you tried a rubber cap? i see you said a "rubber piece." try an actual rubber cap.

 

you can get them at a parts store for like 85 cents....

 

I did get a coolant block off but there's like so much pressure im assuming there's so much pressure that its making it leak out under the pipe clamp i have on it, and geting rid of the fitv makes it so you dont get those bouncing idles ever, its a common problem with hondas so i had my shop i go to make a block off plate for it. Maybe i should take some rvt and coat the metal nipple and then slide it back on to create a better seal.

What rvt or is there some other better compound i should use?? Thanks Jay

 

Honda Bond. Interesting idea on the fitv. Never heard of it.

 

what is he going to honda-bond? its a nipple. clean up the nipple with sand paper, put the proper size vacuum plug on it and use a hose clamp. i have done it on two dif manis now and worked fine both times.

 

You need to loop the coolant hose and cap it off.

Why the hell did you remove the FITV? It's there for a reason. You can fix it be adjusting the screw on the inside and cleaning it, or you can buy another used/new one.

 

Here is my setup:

From the nipple on the IM that you are talking about, run a piece of hose to the nipple on the IACV, closest to the throttle body. The other nipple on the IACV should already have a hose returning to the block on it.

This eliminates the hoses going both to and from the IACV. There is one between the nipple on the IM that he is talking about going to the FITV, and one leaving the FITV going to the IACV.

In colder weather the FITV cycles coolant to heat up the intake air as it passes through the throttle body. It's just part of the cold idle process to get the car to operating temp. Good for long term engine health\drivability, but not when you are trying to make every bit of power (especially free) that you can. Skipping the FITV and routing a tube from the IM around it to the IACV just lowers the temperature of the intake charge before it hits the combustion chamber. Same principle as a cold air intake, colder air is better.

For whatever reason, my car still does the cold idle thing. Goes to the right RPM when its cold out and everything, but I'm still not running coolant throughout my TB, so, I guess its a win win for me

 

i cant remember why i had mine pluged, i may have had a throttlebody with out one and i used a b16IM.
but you do live in NY and if your driving the car in the winter you might want it. i think it is more intended more for the people whom live in places where they have consistently cold weather, if you live in florida or texas it wouldnt be a big deal, NY can get below freezing temps with wind chill for a few months of the years
