I'll admit I'm pretty hopeless when it comes to mechanics but I need to adjust the idle control valve of my Civic Type R. Don't really want to take it to Holden Honda for this. Can anyone suggest somewhere?

Thanks

I'm not sure you can adjust them to be honest mate.
What's the problem? idling too high or hunting??

Once its warm when idling it feels like it wants to stall. Had a quick look on the Honda forums and it seems they can be adjusted and/or cleaned?

confused

I was going to say, i've heard of them being cleaned before.
Where abouts are you based?

Autotest on the airport industrial estate are a great garage to deal with. David who runs it really knows his stuff.
Effecient, curteous and great attention to detail, I use them a fair bit for any issues with both mine and my wifes car.
