Acura Integra Type “Drip” (>_<)

if its leaking where the fast idle valve bolts to the throttle_x000D_
body. then the seals must be bad. you will need to unbolt_x000D_
the FIV and replace those seals. you could try some motor_x000D_
oil on the seals or silicone paste._x000D_

You might want to check to see if it’s the valve that’s leaking, it could be the hoses.

Thanks for our suggestions.

Is there a gasket for that FITV?_x000D_

[EricTheCarGuy]

As far as I know the only ‘o’ rings are at the seal to the throttle body.

I believe Eric is correct on the O rings sealing the FIV to the TB_x000D_
the coolant passages should be self contained in that valve. you_x000D_
may want to remove the valve and inspect it. The valve passage_x000D_
may have a hole in it. as suggested check the hoses first

[EricTheCarGuy]

Yea it’s hard to tell from the pics what’s going on, there could be an issue inside the valve I suppose.

Here’s the one leaking…_x000D_

Here is the original.

so..i put the new rubber O-Rings in the Original FTiv and put it back on.

[college man]

Excellent. keep us posted.

[EricTheCarGuy]

Yea that ‘o’ ring was pretty bad and it also goes to the coolant passage.
