Hello I have a 98 crv in good condition with 245k kms on it. I am sometimes having high idle problems same as this below.

My question is can I use carb cleaner instead of throttle body cleaner to clean the IAC valve (Idle Air Control valve). I am in saudi arabia and they do not sell throttle body cleaner here. Only thing available is carb/choke cleaner. I do not want to damage anything like sensors or engine. Any idea.

 

yeah remove the iacv and spray it with the carb cleaner.

 

Shoot! Ive use cleaning brake fluid! Just make sure its nicley air dried, and u should be good. Also, for high and eradic rpm surges, I reset the base ignition and ignition timing. Just fallow the proceedure in the haynes manuel or look up DYI write for this procedure.
Peace in da Middle East my brother!
