Legacy777 Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Is it throwing a check engine light? If not, you can try shooting some brake cleaner down the intake tube of the IAC valve. There's probably some gummed up carbon in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itamar Posted November 9, 2004 Author Share Posted November 9, 2004 Yes,the check engine light is on....does it mean i can't clean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 usually if the light is on all the time, even after a reset....it's probably bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sasquatch Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Still worth a try,thanks for the advise. dude, if it is bad...POST for a replacement. Awhile ago I thought mine might be bad (turned out to be a cracked hose) but the people on this board ROCK. I had three offers to sell me one....all were about 1/8 the cost of retail.
