www.helminc.com What chemicals were used to clean the throttle body and

the cat...

I used Throttle body cleaner (one from Canadian Tire) and I am not sure what
the dealership used.... but I would guess they would use the right stuff.

My new IACV is in and will be installed on April 27th. I will post the
results.

So my car went in today to get the new IACV and they call me back an hour
later and say that Honda shipped a used part in a new box and that my car
isn't fixed and I have to bring it back AGAIN when the new one comes
in...... Grrrrrr
