hmm well after reading up on this FAQ..
https://honda-tech.com/forums/acura-integra-6/%2A%2A%2A-how-%2A%2A%2A-clean-your-fitv-aka-fast-idle-thermo-valve-1564019/

i have these problems:
-High idle before your car warms up, above 1500-1800rpm
-Lumpy idle
-Roaming idle
-Hunting idle
-Fluctuating idle

it states if your car is a 96+ your car doesn't have a FITV. How can i fix my problem if this is true?

 

Does anybody have a clue? I'd like to know if i could fix this problem before i buy a new intake manifold.

 

How is it that this forum is widely known yet so quiet when asked my question?

 

thats what bugs me too, u have to talk **** to sum1 to get a reply imo

 

clean your iacv there is a write up on how

 

well thats gay..

and great i'll look in the faq thread again, thanks.
(a response finally)

Anybody else that may know what to do please feel free to post and help thank you.

 

spray some carburator cleaner in ur idle air control valve it's in the back of the
intake manifold has 2 vacum lines 2 botls to the manifold and i belive 1 or 2 plugs
and also spray the opening of the throtle body...sometimes they get dirty

 

do u need to take these off or can u do it while its on the car?

if so running or not running?

ive taken it off the manifold before and did that stuff, but im wondering can u do it without takin it apart?

 

Those 2 lines aren't vacuum lines... they're coolant lines.
Do it while the car is running, but still doesn't guarantee that you're actually cleaning it thoroughly. I would just take it off. Just 3-10mm bolts.

 

I did mine when the car was off and let it dry. I still have some idle problems but it got a lot better

 

Hold up... How the hell would you clean this thing with the car running? To clean it, you have to take it completely off the manifold, so having the car on or off wouldn't matter. There's a little gasket it in that has a wire mesh screen in it. That screen gets covered in carbon. That, and the valve itself is what you have to clean out. Read the FAQ thing, it'll help more then this.

 

thanks guys, i'll look into this tomorrow probably.

 

if it doesnt help after you clean it agian, the iacv could be faulty, if youve got a friend with the same car, try theres out or just buy a new one.

 

this guy is right
but imo
save urself the time and materials and costs and just buy a new one their cheap as hell

prolly get one brand new for the same amount of $ u spend in brake cleaner and time and headach of taking it off.

those bolts r hard to get at lol
