CivicDrvr2 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Hi, I have a 2000 Civic EX. It recently has started reving while Idling and while driving. From my searches on this forum I believe the problem to be the Idle Air Control Valve. My question is, is this something that I can swap out, or is it something I need to bring to a mechanic.?

compuvision02 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I have an IACV for sale if you need one, not sure if it will fit, since this is from a B-Series motor... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ford guy Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 I had a problem with my IAC, called civic pride (wont mean anything to most) they told me to take it apart and clean it. I took it apart, cleaned it with combustion cleaner and a small pick. Fixed my problem and saved me $400 bucks. Cranny, you seem to know alot about these civics, since I am new to the imports and we live in the same city. Is there an email that I may be able to contact you with instead of hunting you down on here? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
