Step "A"

  1. 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. Connect tachometer.
  2. Set parking brake. Start engine and run at 3000 RPM with no electrical loads (headlights, blower motor, rear defogger, A/C and cooling fan off) and transmission in Park or Neutral. When radiator cooling fan comes on, allow engine to idle. Disconnect Idle Air Control (IAC) valve 2-pin connector. For IAC valve location, see SYSTEM & COMPONENT TESTING article. If engine stalls, depress accelerator pedal slightly and start engine. Stabilize engine speed at 1000 RPM and slowly release accelerator pedal.
  3. Check idle speed with no electrical loads. See IDLE SPEED SPECIFICATIONS (CIVIC D16Y8 ENGINE M/T)  table. If idle speed is not as specified, remove idle adjusting screw cap located on top of throttle body. See Figure. Turn idle adjusting screw until idle speed is as specified. After idle speed adjustment, check ignition timing. See IGNITION TIMING . If ignition timing is correct, go to Step "B" . If ignition timing is not correct, set timing and repeat Step "A" .
