K-Series Idle Air Assist Valve (IAAV) Delete

Hey Guys!

Welcome back to another video! In this video I will be showing you guys how to delete the Idle Air Assist Valve or IAAV for short. This is a very easy and subtle way of cleaning up the engine bay and getting rid of a few hoses near the valve cover/Throttle body area.

Let me know if you have any questions in the comments below

Thanks for the explanation on the part itself and what happens after deleting it. exactly what I came for 🙏

[briandimascio]

Iirc, on the tee u broke, the threaded portion is fixed on the valve so it won’t spin off bc the tee will hit the valve cover when unscrewing. So either have to break off or remove the valve cover. U did it right by breaking it by accident!

mine was deleted I hooked it back up and my ep3 runs way smoother if your having a problem with elevated idle this will be the place to start looking

Great job bro, i would put Teflon tape on it tho, being that coolant flows through there.

[evanyimir]

the metal tube sticking out the side of the valve cover, can that be capped off or put a little cone filter?

[rinserepeat]

Did you have to upgrade the fuel rail?? And if so, I see a racing fuel rail but does just a basic one work?

[ianhill]

Can someone PLEASE show me EXACTLY where the IACV is and what it looks like? My 2013 Si is idling like ass and i want to check/clean it but i'm not too sure where it is and if its one you can just take out and clean

[angeldejesus]

Does it give an error code? I read no tune is needed so there goes the other question

[ricardohlopez]

What would be the benefit?… will this delete affect any other sensors??

[traviscamacho]

I was really hoping you would start it at the end and show us that it doesn't run like crap...

[carloscintron]

its that fits on CRV 2003?? Can't pass inspection

[TourettesMobileMechanic]

I have mine removed. I have not broke it. Also it barley spun off?? Can I brake the top off and put it back In the motor? What is the problem with that??? Also what is the size of the hex bolt? Please help 2011 Honda element

Is that a 7/8 wrench you used to remove the valve?

[jayquinox]

i had to remove my stock fuel rail to do this and i completed it.. but now my car isn’t starting. by chance do you know what i could have done wrong?

[applepoop]

My Element has a K-Series engine also.

[dtbreally]

Nd since you deleted it you still have the iacv under he throttle ? Or capped

[nickcornielle]

hey was there coolant in the hole that you plugged up with the delete?

[jasonfrazer]

It's a mechanical actuator btw...

[oscarvillasenor]

When you make the delete do any codes come up? I got a p0113 and p0102.

What did you use to cover your intake where it would plug in ?
