Re: 98 Accord 2.3L with erratic idle speeds
[quote=RER55;7180661]This reply goes out to ATL and Sam both and will even include a report back to the forum of the post work results.
ATL, you were right on target with the call on the IACV. Sam I did watch the videos, they were very helpful. I pulled the idle air controller off today and cleaned it. I was pretty full of carbon. But with 354,000 miles I would say its worked really well up until recently. I know this is the first time its ever been cleaned because I have owned and driven the car for the past 300,000 miles that's been put on it. In regard to clean, it takes a really thin small fine wire brush to get down in there and do a good job.
Thanks to everyone for contributing to the fix.
So now I have it running again, the fix has a new issue. I went from a very rough erratic 500 rpm no-load idle to a very smooth 1400 rpm no-load idle. Do you think the ECM/PCM will pick up on my new FAST no-load idle and after a few days of driving start to reduce the idle back down in the 700 - 800 rpm range or will I need to manually make a 500+ rpm no-load idle speed reduction adjustment to bring it back into a normal range?
