same basic concept? unconnect tb, take out iac, put in new iac, replace tb gasket?

 

yes

 

Give us a DIY if you're gonna take on this project. It'd be appreciated

 

why? is there something wrong with everyones?

 

i think most people get excess carbon buildup... it is a flaw in the design of the car, i wish they would do a recall on it instead of only cover the 97's / up to 80k / 7 years or whatever bullshit they pulled

 

No. It is not located at the same place. It is located on the same body but different location. The IAC on the 2.2/2.3 is located behind the manifold. Its held in place by 2 10mm bolts. Once those are removed you should remove the coolant hoses connected to it. Should come out then. Use a throttle body cleaner spray to clean it out.
At first the car WILL act up. Once the valve and ECU readjust everything will be ok.
Do not ask me for pics. I do not have them.

I wouldnt replace the IAC and if you are planning on taking out the throttle body then yes you might need a new gasket. You can also do with the same one. They are durable enough to last a long time. Be careful removing it though. Dont break it if you are planning on reusing it.

 

Sounds strangely like the EGR problem your describing.

 

haha i think you're right... got my acronyms confused

 

word

 

yea defenitly dont waste your money replacing it. i had mine de-clogged and it hasnt acted up since. thanks to supraman

 

idk if mine is clogged or broken because i have to refill the coolant everyday if i want to drive the cl, and even then im overheating like a mother, it stalls constantly and doesnt want to start

 

damn, well then that might be more than just a clogged IAC. did the person before you honestly take car of your car. it seems like your having alot of issues with your car.

 

if u have overheated more then once then your engine is shot
dont bother declogging anything
the IAC valve wont do anything to that extent

 

well the temp gauge goes past half way after 10mins of driving
