Does anyone know about the idle air control valve in a 97 honda civic lx?
I am supposed to buy this car and was told the part was changed, however, when I took the car for a drive, I noticed it is still having issues with idling when in park. The person I am buying the car from (a Honda technician) said that the car has to be driven for a while after the part is changed to let the computer adjust to the new part. Does anyone know if this is true? Also, is $3,200 too much to pay for this model car with 128,600 miles on it?
Hi
If a part has been replaced because it was faulty enough to cause the ECU to have to adapt its fuel trims and/or idle characteristics to compensate for the faulty part, then yes there will be a re-adaption period. Its usually around the 50 to 200 mile mark depending on the severity of the problem, but you should notice things getting gradually better over that period., and maybe even settle down before then.
Unfortunately you will not know this until you've given it a fair shot at adaption, and it may not be the issue at all, it may be something else.
As long as everything else on the car is up to scratch then the price isn't too bad. You may be able to talk him down a bit.
The mileage is a little over the average for the age of the car, but nothing to be concerned about. I would, however, take someone with you who has a good mechanical knowledge to give the car the once over for you. If you mail me, I can send you a little wish list of what to look for when appraising the Civic for buying purposes.
Very best regards
Geordie
