How do you remove the throttle on a Honda Accord?
On most vehicles, throttle body removal is required to access the IACV. The airbox and its accompanying hoses must first be removed, followed by the throttle cable and two coolant lines. Four 12mm bolts and nuts hold the throttle onto the intake, upon which the IACV can then be removed via two philips screws.
Can a Honda throttle body be cleaned and reset?
This article pertains to Honda throttle body cleaning and a Honda throttle body reset. All electronic throttle bodies accumulate carbon buildup on the throttle plate and bore—the Honda throttle body is no exception.
Why did Honda change the throttle body for fuel injection?
When carmakers switched to fuel injection, the purpose of the throttle body change to operate more like an air valve, allowing more air into the intak manifold as you put the pedal to the metal. To provide air at idle, carmakers installed an idle air bypass valve that allowed air to flow around the closed throttle plate.
What’s the best way to clean a throttle plate?
Slowly open the throttle plate and begin cleaning by spraying the aerosol cleaner on a clean soft rag and wiping the solvent onto the throttle plate and throttle bore. NEVER spray the solvent directly onto the throttle plate. Also, never use abrasive scrubbing pads or brushes to remove the carbon buildup.

What’s the throttle body relearn procedure for a Honda Accord?
4. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (M/T in neutral, A/T and CVT in P or N) until the radiator fan comes on, or until the engine coolant temperature reaches 194 °F (90 °C). 5. Let the engine idle for about 5 minutes with the throttle fully closed.
Can you reset the throttle body without resetting the reset?
You might be able to do it without the reset but that’s what Honda docs say to do. It also says that the idle learn procedure needs to be completed after the throttle body is cleaned. This is the first time dealing with a Honda & the first time with an electronic throttle body.
