Did you try to buy it at the dealer? I highly doubt parts stores like Auto Zone would have one, or even know what's in certain cars in general.


If you did go to the dealer, tell them the part number: 23785-89E00

Well i adjusted the iacv screw. Im pretty sure i did it right, i did it just how the fsm says to. Well see if that has any effect but ill have to wait till tomorrow to let it sit overnight.

Yes the IACV does take a gasket. I had to order mine from courtesy. Idk how well it will function with the rtv. Might work might not. From one who has chased his tail a lot I rather do it the right way from now on out.

Well it still does it but i don't know if its just me but it feels like it drives smoother after its warmed up..I guess ill just wait for the gasket and i guess it cant hurt to clean it again when i put it on.

On another note. How long should it take for the radiator fans to turn on. I had my car idling for about 15mins and then i drove it up and down the freeway for another 10mins and i notice the fans never turned on. The temp gauge was in the middle though. I dunno if it takes a little longer than that for them to turn on. They do turn on when i turn the AC on though so maybe i just didn't drive it long enough..

Mine has been doing the same thing with the fans lately. Idk what is. I would have better ease on my mind if my temp gauge was just a lil lower than half.

Yeah exactly. I remember it always being a little below the middle. Now it goes directly in the middle. My dad said i need a new radiator though because it is leaking from the top of the radiator.

So i changed that iacv gasket today and REALLY cleaned the iacv good, took my time this time cleaning it. But still didn't start right up. But anyway i drove it around a few mins and when i pull back into my drive way, a bunch of smoke it coming from under the hood(got kinda scared lol). But it was leaking coolant from one of the hosed on the iacv. The hose itself was on there good its just those stupid little clamps they use are crap and dont hold it down tight. So i replaced them with the screw type clamps. Seems ok now.

Yeah I replaced all mine with those screw type of clamps. Didn't want to be bothered with petty stuff like this.

Ok so today i finally got around to changing my bad injectors which 2 of them were bad. Anyways i ran into a problem. 2 of the little caps that go on the end of the injector broke off. So my work is stopped until i get these replaced. My question is, is there any place that sells these little caps separately or am i sol and have to buy 2 more injectors?
