1994 honda civic-ex 4 door. 140K miles. Manual Tranny The engine is the 1.6 litre I believe.
Engine was loping after it warmed up or it idled at different engine speeds each time I stopped. My mechanic cleaned out the IAC valve as he said it was crapped up with carbon and the engine should be OK now. He says that it may start to carbon-up again and if so, replace the IAC motor.
It looks like a fairly easy job to replace the IAC motor. Are there any tricks to un-installing and installing one? It is not even mentioned in my Haynes manual, which is disappointing. I'd like to do it now to prevent a problem in the future. Is this a good thing to do?
Thanks
