I DON'T SHOW YOU HOW TO REMOVE THE THROTTLE
BODY (TB), FOR ONE GOOD REASON.
THERE ARE 3
CRUCIAL SENSOR ON THE TB.
IF YOU DAMAGE THEM IN
ANYWAY YOU WILL THROW A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT
(CEL)OR WORSE DAMAGE THE THROTTLE BODY.
HONDA WILL CHARGE YOU $537 FOR A NEW
THROTTLE BODY.
SO IF YOU DO NOT KNOW
HOW TO REMOVE THE THROTTLE BODY, PLEASE DO
NOT ATTEMPT.
I HAVE HEARD OF PEOPLE REPLACING
THE IDLE AIT CONTROL VALVE (IACV) FOR A
"JUMPING" IDLE BUT I REPLACED THIS ONE
BECAUSE FIRST THING IN THE MORNING, ENGINE
COLD, THE IDLE WOULD BE ERRATIC UNTIL THE
ENGINE WARMED UP
IF YOU NEED ANY MORE HELP YOU CAN REACH ME AT
BUNDYSGARAGE@GMAIL.COM.
IF THIS HELPS YOU
OUT PLEASE SUBSCRIBE AND TELL YOUR
FRIENDS ABOUT BUNDYS GARAGE THANKS
BUNDYS GARAGE TODAY WE ARE WORKING ON
AN IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE ON A HONDA J SERIES
ENGINE V6
I ENDED UP TAKING THE THROTTLE BODY OFF THE
ENGINE WHICH I DIDN'T WANT TO DO
I WAS TRYING TO DO IT ON
NOT ON THE CAR I HAD IT DISCONNECTED FROM
THE INTAKE MANIFOLD BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO
DISCONNECT THE THROTTLE CABLES BUT I ENDED
UP HAVING TOO ANYWAYS AND THE REASON
BEING IS
RIGHT HERE IS THE IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE
IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE IACV
YEAH I CAN SPELL
ANYWATS IT HAS TWO SCREWS HERE AND THESE
SCREWS WERE ON THERE SO TIGHT I TRIED
LIQUID WRENCH PENETRATING OIL I PUT THAT ON
THERE FOR 45 MINUTES BUT IT DIDN'T
DID NOT DO A THING AND UM
I STARTED TRYING TO REALLY CRANK ON THESE
AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS CAN SEE THAT
I STARTED ACTUALLY STRIPING THAT SCREW OUT
SO RIGHT HERE IS THE THROTTLE POSITION
SENSOR AND RIGHT UP HERE IS THE
MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR MAF SENSOR
ANYWAYS SO WHAT I HAD TO DO LET THE
PENETRATING OIL SOAK UP FOR 45 MINUTES
AND THEN TRIED USING THE SCREWDRIVER
BUT THAT DIDN'T DO ANYTHING SO WHAT
I ENDED UP HAVING TO DO WAS USE THESE
VICE GRIPS RIGHT HERE AND I'M JUST CLAMPING IT
ON THESE ARE ACTUALLY ALREADY LOOSE
CAUSE I'VE ALREADY DONE IT SO YOU JUST CLAMP
IT ON HERE AS TIGHT AS IT WOULD GO
AND JUST MOVED IT A LITTLE BIT AND YOU CAN
ACTUALLY HEAR WHEN IT BREAKS LOOSE
WHEN IT BREAKS LOOSE
AND ONCE I DID THAT I WAS ABLE TO GO AHEAD AND
UNSCREW THESE TWO SCREWS TO GET THE
IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE OUT SO
THAT'S WHAT YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO NEED TO DO
I'VE READ STUFF ONLINE WHERE PEOPLE
CLEAN THESE THINGS OUT AND YOU COULD
DIFFIDENTLY DO THAT
BUT I ACTUALLY BOUGHT A NEW ONE
FROM ROCKAUTO.COM
IT WAS LIKE $66 USD WITH SHIPPING
AND THE REASON I DIDN'T WANT TO DO THIS
ON THE CAR IT ACTUALLY BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE
ENOUGH ROOM TO GET THE VICE GRIPS ON THERE
ALSO I DIDN'T WANT TO DAMAGE ANY OF THE
OTHER SENSORS
ESPECIALLY THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
IT IS YOU CAN CHANGE IT EVEN THROUGH THERE
ARE BREAK OFF BOLTS ON IT IT'S KIND OF A HASSLE
BUT YOU CAN DO IT
SO THOSE TWO ARE OUT
THERE YOU GO THERE IT IS THERE'S ACTUALLY
COOLANT THAT RUNS THROUGH HERE
THIS PASSAGE RIGHT HERE
I BELIEVE IS THE INLET FOR THE COOLANT
AND THIS ONE RIGHT HERE IS THE OUTLET
FOR THE COOLANT
I'M GOING TO PUT THIS BACK ON WHEN I PUT THIS
BACK ON I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO BYPASS
THIS COOLANT SYSTEM ON THE IACV
YEAH COOLANT RUNS THROUGH THERE YOU CAN
SEE IT'S GUMMED UP MESSED UP
THERE'S A LITTLE ACTUATOR MOTOR IN HERE AS WELL
IT MOVES A PINTLE INSIDE HEREI KNOW YOU GUYS
CAN'T SEE THAT BUT I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND
JUST REPLACE IT YOU CAN TRY CLEANING IT AND
SEEING IF THAT HELPS YOU BUT UM
I'M JUST GOING TO REPLACE IT SO
THERE YOU HAVE IT
THESE BOLTS ARE STUCK GO AHEAD PUT SOME
PENETRATING OIL ON THERE IF THAT DOESN'T HELP
WITH A SCREWDRIVER GO AHEAD TAKE SOME
VICE GRIPS GET IT ON THERE AND JUST CRACK IT
LOOSE
ALSO ON A SIDE NOTE HERE'S THE THROTTLE
POSITION SENSOR AS YOU CAN SEE THERE
ARE NO SCREWS OR HEAD TO ACTUALLY
REMOVE THESE
I HAVEN'T DONE ONE YET AND IF I EVER DO ONE
I'LL DIFFENTLY RECORD IT BUT I'VE HEARD YOU CAN
ACTUALLY TAKE A DREMEL TOOL
CUT SLOTS IN HERE
FOR A STANDARD SCREWDRIVER AND BREAK THESE
LOOSE
SO IT'S ONE THING TO KEEP IN MIND BECAUSE HONDA
DOES NOT SELL THESE SEPARATE THEY WANT YOU
TO PURCHASE THE WHOLE THROTTLE BODY WHICH
IS A WASTE OF MONEY IN MY OPINION BUT THE
SENSORS ARE OUT THERE JUST DO A GOOGLE
SEARCH FOR THEM I'VE SEEN THEM ANY WHERE
FROM $30 BUCKS TO $60 BUCKS USD
IT IS POSSIBLE TO REPLACE JUST THE
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
SO THERE YOU GO HOPE THIS HAS HELPED YOU GUYS
