Check your coolant... it's probobly low in the radiator...
otherwise... clean the iacv... it's pretty easy... just a few 10mm bolts holding it on... take them off don't even have to remove the coolant lines (if you do be carefull as they're pressurized) spray out the little holes with carb/choke cleaner... That's what I did... worked just fine.

Like they said clean it first. Sand, dirt & such can get in there.
Otherwise you need to get that from a dealer. I had mine replaced on the Si for the same issues you're having. USE WATER TO CLEAN IT. Don't use any chemicals.

i used throttle body cleaner, i didnt have any problems.
what makes you suggest water? especially since water isnt very good as a cleaning agent. Last edited by AzCivic : 12-18-2003 at 09:34 AM. |

if you take a look at where the calbe attaches there are 2 nuts that keep the cable taught against a retainer (just looks like a fork w/ 2 prongs)
just pull it kinda tight (not to where the tb opens) and tighen the nuts together |
