IACV HELP!!
 

i need a quick fix jsut to get home....how can a fix my IACV without changing it

Re:IACV HELP!!
 

why will it not let you drive? i know you can drive home with it pulsing up and down, ---- i drove like that for a month :(

you could clean it out with brake cleaner or some other type of cleaner, or i guess you could just unplug the sensor :-\

Dude there's a friggin faq/sticky about this ::)

Re:IACV HELP!!
 

cut a coke can into a square (about the size of a IACV), loosen the bolts, stick the can over the holes, tighten it(so the can blocks the IACV), and bam. your done. i drove like this for a loooooonnnnnggggg time.

Re:IACV HELP!!

Re:IACV HELP!!

Re:IACV HELP!!

ok so i tried the pop can trick...it didn't work....what happens iswhen i'm driving the throttle has to be full or not at all....
otherwise it stutters like crazy...i have a CEL code 14 which is IACV??

I'm getting very frustrated any other ideas guys????

Re:IACV HELP!!

i'm trying the one off of mrs.spoon's car...seems to be working so far....but its only held in by one bolt...they are alittle diiferent

Re:IACV HELP!!
 

you need to put something inbetween to block the holes as mentioned above. i think your idle will be crappy but it should work? make a square, loosen the bolts as stated above, wiggle the iacv loose, slide in the piece of square aluminum from the pop can and tighten the bolts up. off you go.

sorry to echo what was already said, maybe you just didn't understand it in american language so i translated to canadian.

we cleaned mine with brake cleaner because there was ---- gunking up the screens... we used brake cleanerr and a small dose of ether and let it dry. works like new :)

Re:IACV HELP!!
 

chris, like i said man, reset the ecu and make sure the code comes back.. if the 92-95 doesnt bolt up then i've got one for ya.

alot of the IACV's are interchangable. Try from the new civic u just got. or the other..or somewhere. ;D

Re:IACV HELP!!

Re:IACV HELP!!
