I have a 2014 Honda Crv with around 62K km. When I start the engine, the RPM sits around 1500 and goes down to 1000 later. I bought a CRC throttle body and a MAF sensor cleaner to clean. I cleaned the MAF sensor but not the throttle body itself because I cannot remove the screw (damaged). Should I just go to the auto shop and let them do it this time?
Or buy an air intake clamp from the parts store. And then let the mechanic change the clamp??
What do you mean damaged screw? Your TB is not held in by bolts? Or do you mean the clamps for the air intake assembly is stripped? I don't see the point of taking a 15cent clamp to an auto shop for them to unscrew the bad one and replace it. You can probably DIY it with a set of pliers or vice grip if this do be the case.
The air intake clamp screw is stripped. I don’t know how to remove that clamp.
No need to be gentle with it if it's already broken. Do you have items to cut it at the band portions? Perhaps a set of vice grips to unscrew it? You got options is what Im saying rather than spending 20 bucks to do a 1 minute job.
Unfortunately no!
I tried a needle plier to grip a screw and twisted it but didn’t work. I used an impact driver to remove it by force but nope. Have no clue what to do.
I have 2014 Honda CRV. When I first start the car, the RPM sits at 1500. So I bought CRC throttle and a MAF sensor cleaner. I have to remove the air intake vent in order to reach the throttle valve. But the clamp screw is stripped and I can't remove it.
I used an impact driver to remove the screw by force but didn't work and the needle plier didnt work. I don't know what to do.
