When my idle starte getting a little crazy I removed the fast idle thermo valve and noticed the wax thing had backed itself out. I just screwed it back in and havent had the problem since. Same thing happened on my friends gsr screwed the wax thing back down and again the problem was fixed.

After that all it really does is heat the throttle body up and limit any gains you might get from a cold air intake. 96+ Hondas do not have this valve incorporated into the throttle body.

I think Bill and John were saying the same thing just in different terms. Bill described how it works by adding more air to the idle mix when it is cold outside john mentioned the side effect of it heating up the throttlebody.
essentially in FL you dont need it if you spend time up north during the winter then dont remove it.

Some part on the car is about to break and every once in a while it will malfunction. Eventually it will occur more and more frequently until it finally just gives up and breaks completely. Id figure out what the cause is before you get stranded on the side of the road with all our domestic friends.
