I was uninstalling the Fast Idle Thermo Valve to adjust it. I was taking out the back bolt of the 3 there, and dropped it and lost it. I got it all adjusted than I put the front right bolt in, and put on in the back, and tightened. There is no more bolt in the front left, is that ok? Does anyone have an extra they could mail me? I tightened it as much as I could and drove and it seems fine, but could it cause damage?

 

So i only have 2 bolts bolting it up.

 

I dropped one into my rear engine mount bracket when I was cleaning mine. Practically had to unbolt the entire bracket to get to it, 99.9% positive its somewhere down there. If not just go to a junk yard, they will probably just give it to you.

 

Actually these fitv bolts are more important than you think. In fact, it's best to use a tad bit of thread lock so that the bolts don't back themselves out...this is more so on a prelude engine because it sits beneath the throttle body than on an accord motor. On my prelude motor I had to use thread lock because they would back themselves out and coolant would leak out. The first time, when I tried to just tightening it more I broke the corner piece of the throttle body off and had to get another throttle body after even trying to glue the piece back on and it wouldn't hold up lol

 

the junkyard in my town is ****. I went to ask for a small coupler thing for in my intake and they asked 20 bucks. He said, it is just for the labor that makes it expensive. Our insurance doesn't let people get the parts themselves

 

That's just stupid about that junkyard. Just go down to Honda and get that bolt. Prolly $3.00 at most.

 

That is a good idea, I will call the local honda dealer and see if they can get it. Thanks!
