Early sunday morning about 1 minute later after starting my car the RPM's started going up and down for no reason , so I turned the car off turn it back on and no more problem. Any ideas what that was about?

Thanks

Im thinking idle air control valve (IAC).

Sounds like a IAC

It's the transmission.

I had to do it.

It's the IACV, like everyone else said.

I don't have the cel light on. How do you repair or replace that?

phipark

It's attached underneath the throttlebody.

Is it something I should replace ASAP, i mean will leave me stranded someday if i don't replace it soon? Sounds like a bitch to replace. Is this another common TL problem?

its pretty easy to do i just tried cleaning mine this morning to see if it would fix my problem but it didn't.

Also a couple of weeks ago after driving for a little while pulled over to get some lunch. Started her up again and it studdered then turned off, it did this for about 3 times, then it was fine, is that the IAC malfunctioning?

chilifrost

Yeah i saw you got an error code cleaning it, would you recommend relacing it instead?

honda_inspire99

i heard that it can be cleaned but i guess it didn't work for me so i would suggest getting a new one because thats what i'm about to do

MrAlex

If your Iac is defective and you whant to change it .. just clean it before.. if its doesnt work .. maybe buy a TypeS tb will be cheeper.. and its bigger so ..

does anybody have a diagram of where it is and what it looks like and price of a new one?

Thanks for the diagram, not sure what to do yet, clean or change because if go through all the trouble of removing stuff, might as well get a new one, also depends on $$$.
