With a 2000 honda accord V6 with 228,000 miles,
I found rusty water inside hoses that connect to the idle air control valve from a rain storm.
The car hesitates when first getting on the road of course. I noticed if you take the idle air control valve out after each drive, theres a little water in one air hose each time. How can you dry out the air jackets completely without running the water?

Are you referring to the IAC valve coolant lines?
what hoses? I thought IAC valves were electric.
There are intake manifold air hoses associated with the IACV on all the cars I have.
Your Accord has coolant going through the front chamber of the IAC valve
.
It sits high up in the cooling system and air can get trapped (locked) there and coolant doesn't flow and that messes with the idle sometimes
.
I think those Hondas have a coolant air bleeder on the thermostat housing so you can remove any trapped air in the system
.
.
It wasn't coming from that one actually , it was the other line that goes into the the airbox hose and manifold. I explained it incorrectly.
you know what would make your question 100x easier to figure out ? .... photos
the coolant is overflowing into the intake now i learned today, and a pro i know said that i can replace the throttle body and IACV with oem or do a bypass that blocks coolant from entering as supercharger men do sometimes. The air bleeder on the therm I might try first like you said. My friend john thinks it's a busted throttle body, and I'm going to cause damage if I don't let it sit and wait for him.
