Default Need a IACV, need help

My 92 civic with a b16 in it is surging at idle. It goes from 1k to 1500 and sometimes down to 500. I changed the ecu bc the guy i bought it from told me it was the ecu, but hes a moron. So weve estabilshed it was the Idle Air Control Valve, and i called honda and they had one in stock for 180 bucks!!!!!!
Anywho, since i have a b16 in my car, do i need a iacv from a b16 or just from any civic 92-95? Anyone got a used one? Or know somewhere i can get one for cheap. Im not paying dealer prices!!!! Thanks!

Mike

if you have a b16 than im guessing you would need a b16 iacv.. but did you try cleaning it instead of replacing it? also, does your idle jump fast or slow?

any obd1 iacv will work. Just clean yours with brake cleaner and you'll be good to go
