Finally uploaded the pics off of my camera. Before and after on the IACV. HIt it hard with carb cleaner. It helped. Up and down idle has stopped. Hope this helps.

 

That shit was really clogged.

 

Looks great. Thanks for putting that up. I need to take mine off for sure. Did you lose very much water? Any tips?

 

Didn't lose any water. Holly shit.... Was water supposed to be there? I just took a 12mm to undo the two bolts, took off the connector, blasted it with carb cleaner, let it sit in the balcony, and put it back in hours later. The gasket sits flush inside a groove, and was perfect. Just reused it. I made sure I disconnected the battery and started up w/out hitting the gas. (As you should do anyway)

 

Those two nipples beneath it are supposed to be connected to coolant lines.


If they aren't, that may be why your IACV is so clogged.

 

Hmmm.... I'll check that shit out when I get home. I guess I'll follow the lines and check for any other clogs. Thanks for the tip.

 

i dotn like using carb clean, id rather use brake cleaner on those kind of things because carb clean doesnt exaporate as fast as brake clean and carb cleaner is also oil based too.

 

The car had been sitting for a while when I took it out. Previous owner was running car hot. Guess that's why it was all clogged. Thermostat was stuck shut, radiator had a whole in it. It was pretty screwed bad.

 

i was wondering if anybody has pics of the IACV on the car as i need to locate it to clean it. thanks

 

does anybody have pics of the IACV when on the car. thanks
