How to clean a throttle body and Idle air control valve (iac). This shows you how to fix a high idle, low idle, and or rough idle. Most modern cars have an idler air control valve (IAC) that can get gummed-up and you have to clean it.
Be aware that unplugging the IAC can trigger a check engine light (use a scanner or disconnect the battery to get rid of the light). If you have any questions feel free to ask below. If this helps also let me know (I like to know when I help someone out!).
Codes that can be triggered are, P0401, P0505, and P0507

🎉🎉🎉2023 October 30th 9:50pm. Good little Vidio👍
Since you referred viewers here from your newer video… I'll be giving this a shot in the $500 Mustang. Because what was $100 at a mechanic 10 years ago is $105 for just the part now, without the gasket, and I would like the slow down on quadrupling the amount of money I have in this car. 😅
Can you do one for a 93 corvette throwing a code 25 and 26 ? Thanks for great videos
The one for my car only 15 bucks on ebay.
When Chris was bit unsure of his content and was cleaning car parts surfaces with his fingers and pawn if his hands. Crazy times hey! Today is hey guys wearing blue gloves using micro paper towels. Congrats man on your way to development and success. I guess the life lesson is you adapt, learn, manage, achieve and grow.
I'm going to clean mine but my problem is my 96 lincoln town car idles at 530rpm in drive with my foot on the brake .idles fine in park and neutral. Any ideas?
My car keeps shutting off when i brake or when i slow down and turn into drive ways. Could this be the reason?
I'm here only bcuz u didnt say "hey guys! Chris fix here!"
Chris, I watched this when you posted it just to watch it and support you.
I'm back here after 10 years to watch it again to help me with a problem on my own mustang. Thanks buddy. Keep it up.
Is this your first video
What did you let the Idle control valve soak in?
After spraying it , how long should I let it air dry or should use towel ?
Watch your new video of this problem,👍🏽 Chris for the updates in your YouTube channel 🙋🏼 Vivian you're one of my go to mechanics for my 2003 Chevy Impala SS repairs, So important for Me keep updating, Thankful for your knowledge 👍🏽
Rockin' out man!
Will carb cleaner dry it out to the point it will cause it to stick.
Love your videos, about to possibly buy a 1999 ranger, doing some studying:)
Thank you
Did you add a new gasket?
