new owner of and old 1988 honda accord ca3 b20a black top with issue...

[Kay]

hi there...my accord got an issue..:crying:

[Kay]

ok...once my accord start to warm up to normal temperature, press the throttle nothing happened ..it just idle...but slowly creep up at rpm...engage gear car just creep slow..too slow....clean the throttle body with carb cleaner walla problem solve but only for few minutes...it happened again....idling is steady at 900 rpm...despite pressing all the way down nothing but surely slowly give some response.... before i start fiddling anything can anybody share some thoughts?...tq in advance....

[Dr_Snooz]

Can you post a video of the problem?

[ShiRen]

open the throttle body by hand, make sure the cable is operating properly

[Kay]

yeah ill up load a video soonest possible...

[Kay]

ive open it clean it..the flap open and close normally..even if i push open it by hand it still flap back close...find out in fb about these engine...they told me to check the blinking ecu../ATTACH]upon checking the ecu blinking code bottom there...14 blink ..check online it say iacv108471084810849...but ive got no issue with idling accept that when the ac copmrssor kicks in the idling drop to 600 from 900 but no hunting etc...but for sure the car seems wont move but just creep before start moving slowly..every time it stop and its time to move again it creeps....before again slowly move...

I wanted to know if the revs still hang when you open the throttle by hand. You are going to want to do something about the iacv. Idk how difficult it will to be to find a gasket, or if you can make it, but take it off and clean it.

[Kay]

ok...here the thing....it WAS the iacv ...all this while while flooring it the ac was on hence the no response or no power ...switch it off the car behave normally...well after open up the iacv..clean it...still same ..guess it went kaput...try getting a new ones is a task so getting from a used parts shop here...still searching...
about the gasket ill just buy it off the parts store and cut it to shape....10850

[Dr_Snooz]

How do you cut a figure 8 o-ring to shape?

[Kay]

i meant the gasket is for the throttle body..that o ring still in good shape how ever...ive bought the toyota iacv and place it near by...still waiting for my mechanic to do the wiring to make it work...

[ShiRen]

Unless its a 2 wire iacv it probably wont work, that and I've never heard of anyone doing that, I hope it works out

[Dr_Snooz]

i meant the gasket is for the throttle body..

Oh, cause I was like, "dang, dudes got some skills."

[Kay]

:Owned2:...i wish i could..but noo

tats the video just how everything is ok now...plus pic of the toyota ficd replacing the iacv which work well....

[Kay]

ermm...the vid...cant be upload....owh well just gonna say..its just fine now...all due to who ever did the timing belt replacement years ago...forgot to do the marking...now with new belts and correct timing or any terms...the 33 years old car just launch itself like it was never been before...previous lady maybe just drove it like it was...a typical honda....

[ShiRen]

I'm impressed you got the toyota iacv to work... Never heard of that before. I'd like to know how and what part you used

[Kay]

the old iacv remain, so are the socket and bottom hose, though the engine check light do come up if i were to go over 140km/h but gone once i restart the car back...as u can see in the picture the hoses are redirect to the new toyota ficd...some minor wiring magic and it work just fine...here in my part of the world where old cars that their original iacv fail...the mechanic just bypass them using toyota ficd or any brand (cheap!!) its simple to modified them as they told me rather then getting a used part or new one that might cost a bomb...
