Can anyone tell me how to remove this screw? It seems to hold the center section together. it is 5 sided whereas an allen key is 6. I dont have naything that can remove this. Is this a special tool that I cant get my hands on?
TIA

ive hear people just get new ones if cleaning them does nothing... check at honda

 

yea, they are like $300.

 

its just a allen bit screw

 

Look at it closer. It's not an allen. Allen is 6 sided. This is 5. Someone said something to me about a pentagon wrench...I'm gonna be on the lookout for those...

 

stick a torx bit in there, its gonna work

 

Hell yea. That did the trick. A T25 Torx screwdriver got it out. wasnt a 'perfect' fit but it got it out. Thanks bro.

 

keep us posted on what you are doing.

I have cleaned mine 2 times and now the Check Engine light is on.

I want to know how to fix the damn thing too or I will just get a used one.

 

ONLY CLEAN WITH CARB SPRAY!!!!!!! DO NOT USE BRAKE CLEAN!!!!!! Break clean will destroy any diaphram material

 

yep, all I have ever used on them is carb cleaner. Still doesn't solve the issue. I think maybe the spring inside is weakened. I tightened that funny screw some after I took the spring out and cleaned in there really well. I'll install this iacv soon and hopefully fix the problem...Don't waste your money on a used one. I did, twice...
