#1 of 4 Erratic idle for CRV by robertdct May 24, 2009 (6:54 pm)
My wifes 2000 CRV has an idle problem. It's erratic going high and low at idle. A code 505 comes up. This code is for the IAC Valve. I replaced it and it did not change. This all started after the A/C Compressor replaced and the valves were adjusted. The CRV has 212,000 miles on it. The head was reconditioned one year ago at 185,000 miles when the catalytic converter plugged and burned all the exhaust valves. It ran great until the A/C Compressor problem developed. Has anyone ever had this idle problem?   Thanks Replies to this message: tidester (May 25, 2009 3:53 am) robertdct (May 25, 2009 2:51 pm)

Replying to: robertdct (May 24, 2009 6:54 pm) This may not be related to your air conditioning at all. There is something called a "Fast Idle Thermo Valve" that oftentimes causes idle problems in Hondas and it may just need adjustment. Perhaps someone with technical expertise will jump in and give a hand. Anyone?   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper Replies to this message: robertdct (May 25, 2009 2:51 pm)

Replying to: tidester (May 25, 2009 3:53 am) Thanks for the informaton but when I checked it out I found that the "Fast Idle Thermo Valve" is only used on the CRV's with automatic transaxle not the 5 speed manual transaxle like we have. This is a tough one. I hate to return to the Honda dealer and get hosed again.   Thanks again tidester.
