IAC for Dummies

By Civic Servient
- Thu Jul 03, 2008 9:26 pm #60656 I have a 94 LX with a D15B7 when I start it cold it hunts and surges untill it warms up and then its fine. I've been told cleaning the IAC thingy might help but I'm not sure what to use. I'm having some clearance isues with the Skunk 2 Intake Manifold bashing into what looks like the brake proportioning gizmo. So I'm a little worried that the bashing is what is causing the idle isue and want to resolve it before I replace the IAC (valve/Motor) Is their a good thread on how to clean the thing or how to make sure its properly adjusted? Any Help would be geatly apprecated! I'm making a seperate thread for the Clearance issues.
