I've done the trouble code now it says I need a air control valve and a starter switch...anyone close have either one?

IAC probably just needs to be cleaned. Not sure about the starter switch. Never run across that code while I've had my Loyale wagon

How would one go about cleaning the IAC? OR should I just replace it?

What I've always done to clean it is take off the actuator, a cylindrical piece sticking off the front passenger side of the throttle body held on by two screws, take off the air bypass hose that connects to the IAC valve and spray some carb cleaner down there while i'm manually opening and closing the valve. The IAC valve can be taken off and much more thoroughly cleaned, but so for this has worked for me. Others may have other methods and they may work better. Hope this helps.

Sorry Scheel and not to put down NVex

 

The "brains" in these cars are not smart enough

to do the type of testing to prove a valve just

needs cleaned.

(although I bet it does need cleaned

with the method NVex describes).

 

The brain only looks at the resistance of said devise.

 

I would check the wiring and the resistance of the IAC.

 

The starter switch code may be related to an engine stall.

This has been known to set false codes -- sometimes

known as "ghost codes".

thanks for all the info - I'll let you know if it works!
