Re: Jumping idle, IAC valve
I'll buy carburetor cleaner and spray this at the IAC valve.
It really does not seem like the motor part can be taken from the valve
assembly. I checked
on the Honda Majestic parts site, there is no exploded view for the IAC
valve assembly.
Also in my Haynes manual nothing is mentioned about taking this apart...
So I'll go for spray cleaning....
Thanks,
Jan
