Hey boys.


Im having a bit of trouble with my civic. When its fully warmed up, the RPM's will sometimes dip really low when i get off the throttle. Sometimes it almost stalls out. When my AICV was at its worst, the car use to idle at like 200 rpm sometimes. I cleaned the AICV last month and it helped out a good deal, but now I think its getting bad again.

Do you guys have any experience with this and do you think replacing the AICV will solve it?

Thanks

Don't you have to replace the whole throttle body on D series engines because the valve is built into it? My 99 was like that. I'd say clean it again really good and see how long it lasts.
