Ok I just got a new IACV b/c my idle is all wack but I don't know where the IACV is located so I can't replace it. Can anyone post pictures on how to change out the IACV or give a detailed how-to???? My car is a 94 civic with a JDM gsr motor. (I already searched).

https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=878371 is the only search result I came up with and it wasnt detailed enough.

Thanks in advance everyone!

 

Its on the back of the intake manifold. Undo the 2 water lines going in and out, unplug the sensor. and remove the 2 bolts that hold it to the manifold. That easy 10 minutes.

 

yep, unplug it, unhose it, un bolt it. reverse procedure for new one. its on the back of the mani. easy as cake.

 

ok the new one is now on but my next question is, how do i take the throttle body off? when the iacv first went bad we took the throttle body apart and plugged up one of the holes but now i need to unplug it since i got the new iacv on but now i forget how to take apart the throttle body.

 

unplug all the vacum, unplug TPS, if it has it... unplug the map. take the throttle cable off, then unbolt it from the manifold. all you have to do is look at the thing, its really easy.

woohoo!!! 666posts

 

ok i undid the top two bolts, unplugged all of the hoses, unplugged the map and now im stuck with the throttle cables but it still seems like there is something else there that doesnt want to budge....is there any hidden bolts or screws anywhere else that i havent found yet? this seems so much more complicated than i know its supposed to be

damn, there goes 666...

after you've unbolted the 4 bolts that hold it to the mani, and all the things connected to it: it sometimes gets a bit stuck to the mani, just get a flat head wedged between it and the mani... if it doesn't pop off with ease, dont pry at it really hard because you probably left another bolt on. there are only 4 bolts holding it to the mani though

 

ok i found those 2 other bolts and undid those but it still seems like there is something there holding it pretty good......it doesnt feel like its stuck, it just feels like there is something left to untighten

 

anybody please help..... I disconnected the hoses, 4bolts, map, and i still cant get my throttle body off! it is about to rain and my car is sitting in my driveway so i need to fix this quick!
