Hi guys,
I've read up on alot of the IAC issues people have had in the past here. I know most ppl recommend replacing them. However, they cost about $800 pesos($75 dollars) here in Mexico. So finding a way to make it work again is not a bad thing. At least I feel it may buy you some time.
I have the kind with a metal cover instead of the black knob that eveyone talks about.
I removed it and sprayed a decent amount of carb cleaner into both holes several times, letting the black gunk flow out it. I shook it to get any excess cleaner out of it. I set it down to let the carb cleaner evaporate for 5 minutes and reinstalled it.
Problem fixed.
