Just a reminder to folks that like to tweak and keep their cars clean. I had some major idle surges when my a/c was on and i was in neutral. I also noticed my car was starting to idle a little rougher than normal. Well i lucked out and killed 2 birds with one stone when I cleaned out my IAC valve. It was filled with gunk and only took some spray with carb cleaner. I have a 5th gen accord with 178k miles, so if you haven't cleaned out your IAC valve before, and you have alot of miles, i would suggest doing it cause it only takes a few minutes to do. PM if you wanna know more, i don't go this forum alot.

 

Um,I don't know what part you are talking about. Do you have a DIY or something that can help me?

 

I did mine at 130K and it was pretty bad. I can only imagine how bad it is at 170K+ :shocked:

 

its really easy man, do you have a haynes manual?
