Clean Intake Control Valve now Idle is High

2000 Civic DX

I have cleaned the ICV and now my idle is very high and not the same as before.

Do I need to adjust idle or there is something wrong?

If it helps I took the ICV out and there is a coolant leak

Help!

Thanks.

Coolants runs through the IACV. Make sure you properly bleed the air out of your cooling system.

Do I need to go down in the radiator and flush the coolant?

There will be a Bleeder screw on the thermostat housing. Open that up and let the motor run. Wait till coolant comes out then close it. Good luck pm if you got any more questions.
