Screw that thing, some guy stopped me at a gas station and said " you know what your problem is right? " I said no, he said " Idle air control valve", "I'll sell you one for 90 bucks".. I thought it was expensive but now I realise i should have taken the deal. :|

A while back my Idle Air Control Valve went out on my 00 Si. My local dealers was almost $300. So I called this Honda dealer in Virginia WAY cheaper with delivery it came out about $152. BiG difference. They always give you a discount. They tell you what is the retail price and then thefinal cost to you.

*****Here called them 1-800-531-2756*** Compare prices with your local dealer and post the difference I just want to know****

To ensure that you receive good advice, you should post a photograph of the hose including the area where it is still connected.

I bet its your IACV, when i put on my Edelbrock intake manifold SOMEHOW the IACV busted i cleaned it, and double checked everything so i took it to motorworks and he said that a secondary sensor in it busted, you could hear little things rattling in it, ANYWAY i got a new one for $130 and FREE LABOR and she runs like a champ now
