Vehicle Fitment and Purpose
This idle air control valve replaces the factory unit on Honda Accord models from 2003 to 2005 and Honda Element models from 2003 to 2006. It regulates airflow at idle when the engine is cold or hot to maintain stable RPM. The part matches OE numbers including 16022-RAA-A01 and AC533. It is a non-OEM accessory designed for these specific vehicles only.
Included Gasket and Installation
The package supplies one valve and one gasket so the mating surface seals without a separate purchase. The valve body uses metal and ABS plastic for corrosion resistance and the three-pin connector matches the original wiring. Installation is straightforward because the unit bolts directly to the intake manifold using the existing hardware.
Operating Limits and Compatibility
The valve handles the airflow range required by the listed Honda four-cylinder engines during cold start and warm idle conditions. It will not fit vehicles outside the 2003 to 2006 model years or models with different throttle-body mounting patterns. Buyers needing a valve for V6 variants, later model years or other manufacturers must source a different part number.
