So, I've been looking around for an IAC for my '90 Legacy. I called Foster Auto Parts (if you live in the US NW, you may know of them) Though they won't see me an IAC, they quoted me $50 for an entire throttle body...Good price no? I mean, I'm thinking I buy one (or two) and maybe the IAC will be good right?

I'm not sure if the IAC is part of the throttle body. I think they are separate and I'm afraid you might not get the IAC, which really is the real culprit of your problem (or what you want to fix). If after you take the whole thing out and it's indeed part of it, I would say it's a good price.

True dat. On my EJ22 it was NOT part of the throttle body. It was a sepreate part completly that bolts on the passangers side of the intake manifold. Right by where the TB bolts to the intake mani. I pulled mine off and could tell it was kinday sticky and obviously dirty.

 

Have you tried pulling yorus off and cleaning it?

yeah, mine is on the passanger side and bolts on...strictly speaking it bolts onto the intake manifold. I have to go there today to pick up a parking light cover that some a*hole broke for me, so I'll have them pull the part. It sounded to me like they had a couple used ones that they pretty much took off the manifold with everything still bolted onto it.

 

I have another thread about my 90's idle problem. I've only tried squirting brake cleaner where the hose connects. I haven't pulled off the whole unit. I guess I can try that next.
