I got back from NYC, & started my car. I haven't started it in 9 days. It did the same shaking, & the RPM dipping below 500 when I reved it. Been like this for some time now. But this time the car did stall out. It never stalled before. When I started it back up it was hard to start, then sputtered a bit after it was started. I gave it some gas & it smoothed out. Does this sound like a bad IAC valve? Maybe fuel related? I dropped it off to the Acura dealer & I'm leaving it sit there parked till Tuesday. Then I will go down & start it with a tech there to hopfully witness my problems. Ideas?

 

You guys will love this. Just what I expected from my unfriendly mod dealer.

They claim my Icebox & headers are what causing my problem. Complete BS I know. Now I have to drive there & yell at them today. Why can't I have a nice dealer like PAA by me

 

That doesn't even make sense. Talk about complete BS.

You should just call them out and ask them why they think those would be causing the problem.

 

Yes, it sounds exactly like a sticking IAC valve. Running a search here, I found some great DIY pics on how to disassemble and clean the IAC valve for the 3.0, but no instructions for the 3.2... Anyone have pics? I don't want any surprises when I try it myself.

 

what is the link to the DIY on the IAC

 

Keep in mind that this is for the 3.0; Our 3.2 is similar, but different. And I still think the IAC valve can be removed without removing the whole throttle body...
