90 legacy manual....

 

anyway to clean it?? I can't afford 400.00 for a car that I paid $50 for??

Yes it can be cleaned. Try a search--there were a few discussions about it in the past.

And if you have a problem while doing it, ask Olnick. He helped me last time I cleaned mine and all went well. Thanks again Olnick!

Definately clean it, i asked at the dealership once about a bad idle and they said they rarely replace them, they just clean em and ship em out.

Something to check: on a 1990 engine with manual transmission, the IAC valve may be a Hitachi rotary type. If you choose to disassemble it, it will be different from what was described in the past.
