Default RE: Idle on 99 accord ex coupe

This is usually caused by dirty throttle plate/bore and dirty idle air control valve and idle air passages. Clean w/ throttle body plate/bore w/ throttle body cleaner and old toothbrush. Wipe clean w/ paper towel. Remove IACV and clean valve body and inlet/out air passages w/ throttle body cleaner. Avoid in throttle body cleaner on IACV solenoid as it may damage winding.

good luck
