I posted this in another forum and thought it might be of some interest here.

You rock dude - I was trying to up my idle a little, but just turning the screw did nothing.

thanks.

 

 

good deal !

I was thinking about uping my idle just today !

 

Sorry but what will it do?

 

Lets you raise your idle rpm.

 

what doyou do if your car dies after unplugging the iac? can't keep it running to adjust it.

 

Back out the screw on the throttle body a couple of turns and it should stay running.

Make sure you only do it after the engine gets to normal temp.

 

just turn the screw and not adjust the whole housing??

phillips type screw. like your headlights? one way is one thing another is another?

 

Just the screw (flat) in this pic (lefty loosey will let more air in with IAC unhooked)

 

great once i get out of this darn spreadsheets class i am to the parking lot to fix that

 

not the same for the H22 is it

anyone know bout the IAC on the h22

 

ill go look, i though it was in the same spot, nontheless its somewhere on the intake manifold trace the coolant lines its right after the FIV i believe

 

it might be on the front like the h23 (IAC - center of the pix 2 10mm bolts one connector under the throttle cable )

thanks i ll have to check it out

anyone have diagrams or know where they are online for vacumm hoses? i have a leak and need to start somewhere..

 

Start at the intake manifold where they all come off the end. They all start there.

 

i have a 91 accord with f22a4. I found the wiring plug to unplug but when i went over to the other side i didn't find that slotted screw to adjust. There is a hole with some sort of plug in it. Maybe i have to dig the plug out or something. anyone know about this? thanks

 

ya its on the TB above the intake inlet,, you might have a grey looking film over it. kinda like what a watch has on it.. to protect the glass. just get the scewdriver and scrape it out

now for me? i turned the screw this way and that. and nothign. i had no effect? whys that?

 

Even with the IAC unplugged?

 

thats the way mine is, makes no difference moving the screw. I can take it all the way out and it does'nt do much.

 

OK...I'll ask you too.....

 

I wondering the same thing too. My H22 idles really low then high, and then dies. Hey that rhymes.

 

ya i can pull it all the way out and even with the IAC unplugged
when i pull the iAC i have a harder time getting the car to say on.. i need someone in the seat turning the key..

 

What year is your car? Will this work the same as on a 1991 Honda Accord EX ?
I would like to adjust my idle up to if it's as easy as you describe... Also what sould the idle be set at ? Do I do it in gear or in park? It idles around 500 RPM ... I would like it up around 800 to avoid the vibration that comes with the low idle speed.

Thanks,
Branden

Its a 97. Not sure about the 91.

I'd do it in park so you dont have to chase it around the block.

The target idle is up to you mine saays 550rpm with no load.
