Shortly after posting this, I removed the IACV for a second time and saw that I missed some carbon build up in the middle chamber (the valve rotates). Once I made sure it was squeaky clean, I also sprayed more carb cleaner down into the MAP sensor pathway & into the sensor itself.
The drive this morning was great, no burps & hesitation issue(s)
So stoked.
Anybody getting near 100,000 miles should look into this, it was amazing how dirty the throttlebody & sensors get.
Great news, man...
Funny, I recall checking my IAC, but now that I think about it, I think I only checked the silver S...not the Rio...I might give it a whirl and see if there's buildup in there...can't hurt to clean it, that's for sure.

At 130k, absolutely! If you can get access to a spare throttlebody gasket, take the throttlebody off and thoroughly clean the MAP sensor passage way & butterfly.
I don't know if it was the TPS sensor replacement or cleaning the IACV, but my throttle response is much crisper than it was before.
I don't want to speak too soon, but the true test will be this afternoon when it's over 90 degrees sitting in stop & go traffic.
Shoot...I'm on that path too, maybe less...10 miles to work and back...50 a week, 200 a month 2400 a year...
divided by 2 cars...
I don't like going anywhere and when we do on the weekends, it's usually in Betty's...
So, damn...I'm gonna have some seriously low mileage vehicles in 20 years from now!
No problem, T...and thank you I do love my S2000's...both for different reasons...actually, seeing the pictures made me kinda miss the Advan. I literally sold them one week before buying the new S2000
Not gonna lie though, the Konig fit the car's dimensions PERFECTLY without the need for spacers or anything.
About the Tranny...you can do that swap yourself, or for cheap at work...just get your 2 bottles from amazon and get it done, man. I promise you, the car was notch free...I swap to Honda MTF, fkng notchy within a week...GMFSM (AC D) fkng PERFECT since I swapped it.
You need to drive more
I miss your Advans as well. I like the Konigs but I LOVED the Advans. You should buy another set and then decide to sell them again so I can get dat friend pricing
I've heard great things about the GM fluid. I'll give it a shot! I just want the smooth shifts to come back considering how much I drive

For those of you who have a daily driver other than the s2k, you can get cheap insurance at Grundy.com. I was quoted 270 for a year with unlimited mileage and 100 deductible.
I will look into that, Dennis...thanks for that information...technically, she can sleep in the garage all the time...that would save me quite some bucks in the long run of ownership...the registration I don't care about paying for 2 cars...but insurance is a KILLER.

Is it really that bad for you, J? I pay about $65/month with a $250 deductible. It probably helps that I live in the country

Stop getting caught speeding.
The insurance on my S is cheaper than my wife's Accord. It's only slightly more than the Jeep which is brand new.
Also, insurance rates vary drastically based on where you're at so YMMV.

It really is...Betty was reading up on the Gundy then and it's

LOL...so you make that comment and then nail exactly why mine is so much.
I haven't gotten pulled over since 2011 and haven't even ever had anything stick prior to that. No contest, court fees, sucka

Not great, it was cheaper than my CLS6
You guys have no idea about South Florida and insurance rates/scams...
It's not THAT bad...I pay about $80/month more for the S2000 on our plans. Total of about $2200/year to insure all 3 vehicles which is totally normal here.

Jeebus, another reason to move to the midwest.
Cost me ~$1400/yr to insure three cars and two drivers.
you had BETTER document that process in a major way, player...I wanna see!
Good luck!
Oh I will, expect lots of pictures.

Notice any difference?
Cleaning the IACV, MAP sensor path, & sensors made a big difference with my car. Sure, it hiccups a little bit here and there, but only when it's 90+ in stop and go traffic.
I literally had one drop drip onto something below...i used a small blue shop towel but little to no mess...i also did do a fingerfull of oil on the seal to reseat it and freshen it up.
J.
I don't think I had an issue before, but figured it couldn't hurt and I haven't driven much yet...so we'll see.
Yeah, a little coolant leaks out so I'd recommend doing this when the car is cool.
Put a small terry cloth underneath the valve and you're good to go

Awesome, thanks guys. I'll add it to my to do list for this weekend. Should be a perfect 65F outside. Good temp for car work.

I know, but I have other stuff to do as well. Need to swap out MTF and engine oil in the S and change ATF and trans pressure sensors in the wife's Accord.

In the end it turned out to be a clogged fuel injector

too cheap to pass up.
