Review on Enhanced Engine Performance AC229 Idle Air Control Valve by Standard Motor Products by Chad Sornsin

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Will do as a last resort. when your car doesn't work.

This product will get you "back on the road". But don't expect your Honda to idle/work/run like a stock Denso ICV. This ICV will make your car run and take you from point A to point B. In my situation, it was not stable and consistent in its behavior. Save yourself the frustration and either shake things up by buying a new DENSO ICV or go to the recycling center and buy a used OE DENSO ICV. I've walked the "you are a wrench" path. (cost me $12). Immediately my Honda 3.5L V6 jumped back - stable idling, smoother acceleration. Denso's fuel injection system components work together. You'll tolerate other aftermarket components, but that's not the optimal ratio.

Pros
  • Fuel Injection System
Cons
  • There are defects
