Hi,

I have an Accord 2000 v6 that showed symptoms last year of starting and then dies. I resolved that by re-soldering the main relay and it worked for a year. This year, the same problem re-occurred and i decided to replace the main relay and worked well for a while, then occurred again, so i decided to clean the IACV, then the idle surging appeared. I have other threads about this and can't resolve it.

Here's what i have done so far:
-cleaned the IACV
-cleaned throttle body
-replaced the IACV
-replaced the TPS
-bleed the coolant
-spray choke cleaner and couldn't find a vacuum leak.

Any advice\suggestion would be greatly appreciated to resolve this.

Thanks

 

FYI, I brought the car to a garage that had experience with Honda's and the issue is resolved. Although I did replace the gasket between the throttle body and manifold (maybe autopart store sold me the wrong one), that was the issue causing the idle surging. a ten dollar gasket :-). Anyhow, happy that it is resolved.
