Uh,oh. I had it all wrong it was the idle air control valve. In the future should we be seeking a private mechanic? Wouldl they charge significantly less than $415 to replace an idle air control? ---

What Model Year Is This Honda Odyssey ? It Could Make A difference And Car Talk Doesn’t Ask For It When You Sign In With Your Question. Also, did the van start running poorly or did the “engine light” illuminate ? CSA ---

2003 Odyssey. The accelerator stuck, the idle was high, when we had to accelerate above idle speed and stopped accelerating the car bucked. And yes the engine light was on.
