Idle speed should be:
K20Z2 engine:
M/T 700 50 rpm
A/T 800 50 rpm (in P or N)
K20Z3 engine: M/T 750 50 rpm
Idle speed should be:

Idle Speed Inspection (cont’d) ECM/PCM Idle Learn Procedure
4. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at
3,000 rpm without load (A/T in P or N, M/T in
neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it
idle.
5. Check the idle speed without load conditions: headlights, blower fan, radiator fan, and air
conditioner off.
6. Let the engine idle for 1 minute with high electric load (A/C switch on, temperature set to max cool,
blower fan on high, and headlights on high beam).
NOTE: If the idle speed is not within specification,
dotheECM/PCMidlelearnprocedure(seepage
11-310). If the idle speed is still not within
specification, go to the symptom troubleshooting.
7. Reconnect the EVAP canister purge valve connector. The idle learn procedure must be done so the ECM/PCM
can learn the engine idle characteristics.
Do the idle learn procedure whenever you do any of
these actions:
 Replace the ECM/PCM.
 Reset the ECM/PCM.
 Update the ECM/PCM.
 Replace or clean the throttle body.
 Disassemble the engine or the transmission.
NOTE: Erasing DTCs with the HDS does not require you
to do the idle learn procedure.
1. Make sure all electrical items (A/C, audio, lights, etc.) are off.
2. Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.
3. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), and wait 2 seconds.
4. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (A/T in P or N, M/T in
neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, or until the
engine coolant temperature reaches 90 °C (194 °F).
5. Let the engine idle for about 5 minutes with the throttle fully closed.
NOTE: If the radiator fan comes on, do not include
its running time in the 5 minutes.

Do not insert your fingers into the installed throttle
body when you turn the ignition switch to ON (II) or
while the ignition switch is ON (II). If you do, you
will seriously injure your fingers if the throttle valve
is activated.
1. Check for damage to the air cleaner. If the air cleaner element is damaged, replace it (see page
11-346).
2. Remove the throttle body; K20Z2 engine (see page 11-348), K20Z3 engine (see page 11-349).
3. Clean off the carbon from the throttle valve and inside the throttle body with a paper towel soaked
in throttle plate and induction cleaner.
NOTE: Remove the throttle body to clean it.
 Be careful not to pinch your fingers.
 To avoid removing the molybdenum coating, do not clean the bearing area of the throttle shaft (A).
 Do not spray throttle plate and induction cleaner directly on the throttle body.
 Use Honda genuine throttle plate and induction cleaner.
4. Install the throttle body (see page 11- 348).
5. Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS (see page 11-4).
6. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), and wait 2 seconds.
7. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure (see page 11-310). Vacuum pump/gauge, 0 30 in.Hg, Snap-on YA4000A
or equivalent, commercially available
1. Start the engine, then let it idle. NOTE: The engine coolant temperature must be
below 65 °C (149 °F).
2. Remove the engine cover (see step 1 on page 9-3).
3. Remove the vacuum hose (A) from the intake air duct, and connect a vacuum pump/gauge (B) to the
hose.
4. Raise and lower the engine speed, and make sure the vacuum gauge reading changes as the engine
speed changes.
If the vacuum reading does not change, check for
these problems:
 Misrouted, leaking, broken, or clogged intake air bypass control system vacuum lines.
 A cracked or damaged intake air bypass control thermal valve. Replace the valve if needed
(see page 11-351).
5. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (A/T in P or N, M/T in neutral) until the radiator fan
comes on, then let it idle.
