Anyways, I went out to do it, couldn't cause the intake manifold was pretty hot still so I couldn't get the IAC plug undone and also, I don't know if Honda did this, but the screw that you turn to adjust the idle had a coating over it kinda like loctite to keep the screw from backing out. And that damn thing is hella shallow too like someone already mentioned so I wasn't even gonna mess with it especially w/that coating on it, I'd end up fawking it all up
h: Oh well, im just gonna think of the shaking/vibrating
feeling Im getting as Honda's built in massager

Well...the Haynes manual I have says to take it out for 10 seconds. And I did that.
cause it's tight!

but when you read the instructions in the repair manual, they make it seem like it's a walk in the park:angry:
