Step "A"
- Ensure IAC valve is connected. Check for DTCs. Ensure timing is correct, spark plugs and air cleaner are okay, and PCV system is operating properly. See SELF-DIAGNOSTICS - INTRODUCTION article. Disconnect EVAP purge control solenoid valve 2-pin connector. For EVAP purge control solenoid valve location, see SYSTEM & COMPONENT TESTING article. Connect tachometer.
- Set parking brake. Start engine and run at 3000 RPM with no electrical loads (headlights, blower motor, rear defogger and A/C off) and transmission in Park or Neutral. When radiator cooling fan comes on, allow engine to idle until radiator cooling fan turns off. When radiator cooling fan turns off, check idle speed. See IDLE SPEED SPECIFICATIONS (ACCORD & ODYSSEY) table.
- If idle speed is as specified and vehicle is equipped with A/C, go to Step "B" . If idle speed is not as specified, turn idle adjusting screw located on top of throttle body in 1/4 turn increments. See Figure. Check idle speed after turning idle adjusting screw 1/4 turn in either direction. If vehicle is equipped with A/C, go to Step "B" .
