How do you Clean Idle Air Control Valve & Throttle for Honda Accord without removing a lot of parts? This is for a Honda Accord 2005 and earlier, 4 cylinder engine (mine is 2004 Accord). It saves time without removing a lot of parts that the book suggest to remove, but you need to pay attention for a couple of things. I did not remove 5 components, did not remove hoses so that no need to clean the spill, or break the hoses; did not remove cables not only saved removal time, but also I did not have to spend the time to adjust these cables.

My car’s problem started with the idle speed fluctuation see After I replaced the coolant see it run perfectly for a week until the problem came back see I then fixed the radiator cap problem, it run perfectly for another week. Now after I cleaned the throttle & IAC valve, the car run perfectly again.
