cant see any flat head screw on my IACV i do see one allan screw and i would need allan key to adjust this screw am i talking baout right thing here...i ahve tried to adjust cable using 2 screws now idle is bit high by stretching idle cable is it ok to do this

many thanks guys

 

yeah, that cable is your throttle cable, dont adjust that because youre essentially having the gas pedal partially pushed down for you, the screw they are talking about is usually located on the upper left hand side of the throttle body. You will be looking just above and to the left of your rubber intake piping.

 

yea its on the THROTTLE BODY. its not located on the intake manifold. on the second picture it is just off to the left side. i think i can barely see the screw

 

ok guys i'll have a another look tomorrow and i'll make note of all the possible screws and will mark them on pictures and then you guys can let me know....
thanks you very much for all your help so far

many thanks

 

so i found the idle adjustment screw. im just a little hesitant to touch it, i dont want to mess anything up. and should i adjust it when the car is at operating temperature? also, can somebody please tell me what the factory reccomends for normal idle?

 

650- 750....your not going to mess anything up..adjust it when the car is fully warmed up...even rip on it a little....then turn the nut to the left until you just start to hear a little hiss coming from the iac....then its set perfect.

 

ok awesome, i will give that a shot. will this make the car idle higher on an initial cold startup though?

 

it should always idle at around 15-1700 when you first start it up regardless of that setting

 

ok, i will give her a shot later today!

 

ok, just gave it a shot and it didnt do a friggin thing. i had the screw out pretty far too, the idle doesnt want to come above 500rpm. i saw that the factory says it should be 700 +- 50. is there any alternate route? may i have a bad sensor? the last thing i want to do to the car is a tune up with all Honda OE parts this time. what should i do if the problem persists? live with it? lol
