Standard Ignition Idle Air Control Valve P/N:AC254
Hold a steady idle with the Standard Ignition Idle Air Control Valve AC187. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications — the 1992-1995 Honda Civic and the 1993-1995 Honda Civic Del Sol — providing the factory air-bypass path the engine uses to manage idle speed.
An idle air control valve regulates the amount of air that bypasses the closed throttle plate, letting the engine control module raise or lower idle speed during cold starts, warm-up, and changing accessory loads. As it operates, the ECM meters this bypass air to keep the engine turning smoothly when your foot is off the throttle.
If a failed idle air control valve is the cause of your idle trouble, AC187 replaces it and helps restore normal idle airflow.
Manufacturer part number: AC187.
What does an idle air control valve do?
It regulates the air that bypasses the closed throttle plate so the engine control module can maintain the target idle speed during cold starts, warm-up, and changing accessory loads.
Which vehicles does the AC187 fit?
It fits the 1992-1995 Honda Civic and the 1993-1995 Honda Civic Del Sol. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your specific vehicle.
What are signs the IAC valve may need replacing?
Rough or fluctuating idle, unexpected stalling, surging, or hard starting can be signs. Diagnose the cause first, since these symptoms can have other sources.
Will this add horsepower or performance?
No. It manages idle airflow only. If a faulty IAC valve is the cause, replacing it helps restore proper idle behavior, not extra power.
Is mounting hardware included?
The listing doesn't specify included hardware. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether any originals may be reused.
