I may have a stuck one on the CRV, gummed from a throttle body cleaning. Dealer service rep agrees, but stopped short of showing it to me. I'm going in for inspection monday and wanted to tweek it myself first to save a few $, plus pass inspection. Anybody know or have a reference link?

you cant really tweak the iac. i don't think its adjustable. however the throttle plate is adjustable, via set screw.
both items are located on the throttle body. i assume this is you're b20b in the crv? what happened to make the iac not work?
if you need some specific help, shoot me a pm, i've got the b20b in my crv and wouldn't mind popping my hood to check things out.

Do these engines have a cable actuated throttle? Reason I ask is, the 'new' electronic throttle controls don't use an IAC. The throttle motor does the tiny tweaks it needs to the throttle plate position to maintain a cold idle speed.
This is a 1998 and supposedly if you spray clean the TB, gum flows down into the IAC. I'll look on the throttle body. Thanks.
Under the hood, the CR-V is nearly identical to the Integra, so try this:

Wow, thanks. I have dial-up so it's hard to surf for info. NEED SATELITE INTERNET!
Just use a flat edge screw driver to scraped off all the black grime/crud that builds up on the mesh screen.
I also helps to remove the throtle body and clean off all the grime that builds up.

forgot to mention.....No brake cleaner is necessary to get the IAC and TBody spotless.
Job is done, it was a lil grimy. Who knows if it would throw a cel. Thanks again.
How tough was it to do? I was thinking about doing mine next year.
Did it in 5 min in the dark.
dealer cleared cel and it has not returned. I am making another post about the "diagnostic service".
