Cleaning the IACV?
I have a '98 3.2TL and am having some idling issues. I've read that cleaning the IACV is a good place to start, but can't seem to find much info about the actual process. Can anyone help or point me in the right direction? Thanks

its on the bottem side of the throttle body assembly
While it can be done on the car- best to remove TB and flip over for access
remove 2 cover screws- clean everything inside-
get new TB to manifold gasket at dealer before you start!
also have parts stores check for any codes- you may need to clean to egr port inside the intake manifold
99s got a special part installed free-on recall - for the egr port-
call 1-800-382-2238 x5 have vin handy and ask if you ever had that done if applicable
