I have a 1996 Honda Civic Dx, i am trying to clean my IAC valve but i cant find it.Anybody knows where it is?

 

Behind the throttle body next to the TPS Sensor

 

d16y7? It's connected to your intake manifold. Can't miss it. Just google IACV

 

Actually this is totally wrong.

On the D16y7 they run a intake manifold which faces the throttle body up towards the hood. So if your standing in front of the car facing directly to the rear look at the throttle body and if you notice in front of it maybe tucked a little under the fuel rail is a rectangle box with 2 black rubber hose on it. Thats the IAC.

i dont have a D16y7, i have a stock 1996 honda civic DX

 

Okay, you have a stock 96 doesn't mean that you don't have a y7. y7's came in most 96-00 models. What engine do you have? I believe y8 is the same also.

 

HAHAHA so does the intake manifold look like the one in the picture above?

 

holy crap i do have a d16y7, ive notice that some air intakes are the cylinder ones, i have the rectangular on that sits on top

 

Yea you gotta take that black rectangle box off then youll see what im talking bout.

 

 

Holly crap someone got to it before me. If only honda tech paid me to do that i would of done it already. Good UPS

 

im asking because when i start my car it goes to 3000rpm then down to 1000 rpm but then back to 3000rpm etc

 

It can be your TPS as well

 

Its not that then but will be worth cleaning anyways if your in the mood to take something apart make it nice and shiny and put it back on. Google or better yet youtube "Honda civic vacuum leak" or "Honda civic idle surge".

 

i found it, and i also found the vacuum leak

 

On those it is easier to take off the whole throttle body. I did it on my '97 LX and cleaned the IACV and the throttle body while I had it out. You should be prepared with a new throttle body gasket though. I was able reuse mine, but it is only paper.
