Does anyone have a link to a diagram to show where under the hood the idle air intake valve is on a 2000 Accord SE 4cylinder VTech and how to properly take it out and clean it?? My idle is goin crazy and I heard this might be one of the problems...Thanks!

 

It's #9 on the back side of the intake manifold. Have fun with not much room between there & the firewall...


The 2 nipples on the bottom are for coolant hoses, if you disconnect them you'll have to bleed air out when you're done.

Clean it out with throttlebody cleaner. Get a new gasket #10 because it's probably hardened from age & heat.

Look for instructions on setting the BASE idle.

 

Thanks jim!
