Cougar Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Have you checked the intake manifold gaskets for a leak? They could be leaking coolant, air, or both, into the intake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86subaru Posted July 25, 2005 Author Share Posted July 25, 2005 no coolant leak etc.. , seems the other iac was bad , but still back to the same problem as before i started Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Is it the wrong kind of IAC? I think you need a 3rd one and are on the right track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
