    I tried lightly tapping on the iacv a few days ago and nothing was affected.
    I'm sure my 98 accord V6 model doesn't have the fast idle thermo valve on it anymore.
    The only thing to the left of the iacv is an FIA-fuel injection air valve and a bit further away the ERG.
    At any rate Ive got the throettle body off now and the gasket for it they gave me is the throttlebody to spacer gasket, not the one that goes to the intake/plenum.
    Called and one place only sells it in the intake gasket kit.
    Other place said 2 days and I get 4 of them,
    I looked at them online, one has the proper bolt pattern but it doesn't really match the original that blocks off most of the open space on the throttle body that goes to the iacv... funfunfun.
    The gasket is still stuck to the intake but I don't think its wise to try and reuse it.
    I could make my own if I had some stock gasket material...

    Check the mass airflow sensor sometimes they don't throw codes

    Thanks for that link Tx,
    All your links Ive run across in other posts here I've saved in my honda folder.

    Well good news and more good news :)
    Even honda didn't have the Tbody gasket because it was a 98 and not stocked but the parts guys said there may be one in a ERG kit and would let me have it if it was there
    It was
    And when I got home I had the IACV on in no time and ready for the acid test...
    It runs like a champ! :D:D:D
    A big thanks to everyone here that's helped me, especially O'Oily Primate from the Republic Of Texas
    I must of saved a few 2 or 3 hundred $mackers doing it myself.

    The engine lite is staying off so that's good.
    The manit lite has been on, how do I turn that one off?

    Oops... yeah manit is confusing
    I meant the yellow *maintenance required* lite that's right next to the check engine lite.
    Its abbreviated in the dash as MAINT REQ'D

    Read in your Owner's Manual what you need to do to turn that light off--it should be simple.
