I just called our honda dealership and the guy could not find IAC listed and he said he found and electronic indle valve and he said the whole thing is 254 dollars! that cant be right. where can i find one or can someone give me the part number from honda so i can make it easy for them. thanks

They dont list it on www.hondaautomotiveparts.com

Here is a link, you can see the IAC unit, but it doesnt list it as being for sale.

I say... go to a junkyard.

The junkyards around here dont have ludes. the only option is ordering it online or from the dealership.

red92si · 12-30-2002, 12:38 PM

then your best bet is to print out that illustration, and show the people at the dealership exactly what part you want.

Isn't the IAC effectivley eliminated when you have a CAI anyways? Why bother?

IAC = Idle Air Control...

Your thinking of the butterfly valve system in the Intake Resonator. Every lude needs an operational IAC to control the idle.

Hmm it looks like in the pic that it is describing the whole unit and the guy at the dealership said i have to buy it as a whole but 254 dollars for something that i dont even know if it will fix the idle surging. i dunno what i should do?

Could the map sensor be bad???

LudedudeSi · 12-30-2002, 03:13 PM

Anyone? if you guys only knew how bad this sucked.

this makes me wanna sell my damn car and buy a new one.

SikRedRX-8 · 12-30-2002, 06:12 PM

Trust me if the MAP was bad you would throw code 3 and/or 5. You would def know cause it feels like you have no HP at all, everything is messed up with a bad MAP. Trust me.

EDIT: I think I have an extra one, I will let you know tommarrow it is to cold outside right now, but I have a few IM laying around in the garage. I will pm you tommarrow.

thanks Ronnie.

I've had one sitting in my closet for about a year, make me an offer.

LudedudeSi · 12-30-2002, 06:36 PM

I dunno how much its worth. give me a price.

i have a brand new in box fast idle thermo valve that i will sell you.. i bought one to replace mine but found out it was just a vaccum leak

LudedudeSi · 12-31-2002, 12:15 PM

I do not need the fast idle thermo valve. i need the iac. i still dunno if its a vacuum leak or if its the iac though and i dunno if i wanna spend the money on it if its not going to fix my problem.

OT, but Grant hit me up on AIM. muy importante

LudedudeSi · 01-01-2003, 02:04 PM

Hey charlie my cable modem has been acting up so its kinda hard to catch you online. as soon as i get this thing fixed i will try and find you. if its really important please PM and il get back to you. Later

LudedudeSi · 01-01-2003, 03:06 PM

Hey guys my idle is still messed up and i was talking to someone about vacuum lines that run to some box that controls the secondary intake runners and he said there were 2 lines and showed me a pick of his IM with one capped off and i was looking at my IM today and i have that line capped off too. i dunno why but it is. Its on the left side of the IM at the top. there are 2 lines there and the right one is capped off. could someone explain what it is and were is goes. This could be my problem but prolly not. worth a shot though...

SikRedRX-8 · 01-03-2003, 08:27 AM

What you are talking about has no effect on your idle. I have taken mine off a few times before and it effected nothing, just top end.

Akkord29 · 01-03-2003, 02:04 PM

hey go to search and type in IAC, i was looking for one a while back and remember there were a couple in the for sale section
