Hi, I have a 99 tl and I want to clean the IAC, but there are these special star shaped screws on it and i don't know where to find the tool. Everyone keeps telling me it's a torx tip, but the torx are 6 point rather than the shape of a star. Anyone have this tool? or know where I can get one?

 

star shape? never saw one of those, go to murrays, advance auto parts, autozone, sears, pepboys, homedepot... and see if any tool looks like it

 

Use a small flat head that fits in it and remove them. Then when reinstalling it get Philips head screws if you don't want to mess with the ones that came off. (that's what Honda put on the 00+)

 

hes talking about torx. most hardware stores have em

 

It's a torx screw. Go to Pep Boys and and buy one of those fold out torx wrench sets for under $10.

 

But torx are 6 point and this screw is 5.

Yes like that. Most parts stores carry the 6 point. You have to look closely to get the 5. Thats why i said to just use a flat head screw driver, it will work if you have different sizes to try to get one to fit.
