replace temp sensor with iac valve?


Recommended Posts

Ive had some issues with rough idle warm, in drive on my 99 obw. New plugs helped. Also found a loose fender mount that was rattling, but its still kinda rough. I picked up a iac valve at the junkyard, going to clean it and just got the new gasket in. It looks like both temp sensors are easy to get at with the iac out. Since the sensor controls the iac via the ecm, is it a good idea to change this also? Is this another case of " use only oem" sensors? Looks like the aftermarket 2 wire sensors run from 60$ to 15 on ebay. Anyone use these? What do you guys think? Maybe just leave them alone? Also, ive read the threads on iac cleaning. Was thinking of soaking in gasoline and q tips? Anyone have experience cleaning one of these?
