amyksh Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Code came up for the third time for Idle Air Control Valve, seems to be an intermittent problem, but I have noticed almost a gurgling sputter for some time, off and on, anyway. So I have read some posts about cleaning this valve, ultimately replacing... any ideas? Idle seems to be jumping and racing at a stoplight... vibration is a bit much. Any ideas, part is around $350... or junk yard?? Any advice is appreciated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olnick Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Not sure if the design changed for your car, but on my '95 (EJ22) I found it best to remove the IACV from the engine to give it a thorough cleaning. Also clean or replace the hoses leading to and from it and use a new gasket. If that doesn't work I'd look for a used one. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davebugs Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I have the luxury of having used ones around. But if you clean it it may need to be adjusted (if I remember correctly) which may be an inconvenience. I don't know how well marking it before dis-assembly would work.
