Honda prelude: How to clean fast idle thermo valve(FITV)

[@markpeam8549]

2:02 Not a Philips screw. It's a JIS screw (there's a little dot stamped on top to indicate this) and requires a JIS screwdriver. Otherwise ... you will round it out.

Thanks for the information👍 but I didn't call it a philips head screw I just said you can use a flat head screw driver to help loosen it carefully without scratching the outside metal part of the valve and also not damaging the plastic slot in the "JIS screw".

@@automotiveobsession7265 It's at 1:36 when you say "Philips" - my bad. *Those* two holding the end cover of FITV are the JIS screws. If you pause at 1:37 you can see the little dot on the top surface of the screw that's still in place.

@@markpeam8549 Thanks for letting me know.

If it's Japanese you can bet it's a JIS. Vessel brand impact screwdriver is a lifesaver.

Man i done lost my bolts

[@Tr1pMind]

thanks for the video. but dude you need to do this on a table on top of a clean rag. you do not put parts on the ground and potentially ruin things with grit and dirt.

[@automotiveobsession7265]

Thanks for the tip and the support. I could use a rag but I don't have a table or the space for one right now. Hopefully in the near future.

Honda CR-V right? Lol, table in the back of the cargo area..

Another failure point. Stupid Honda design. Coolant/hoses, what could go wrong? Already has a type of IAC this is so redundant.

[@automotiveobsession7265]

I agree it is a failure point.

Seriously lay down a towel or something instead of just laying parts on the dirty wet ground.

[@automotiveobsession7265]

Thanks for the advice.
