Today I (finally) cleaned the throttle body, but even w/the engine warmed up it's idling around 1700 RMPs. Should I clean the IAC valve? Where exactly is that, anyway? Also, is there a way to adjust the idle?

hmm did you knock any vacuum lines off? did you take the throttlebody off the car when you cleaned it? sounds like a vacuum leak to me.


the IAC is the thing on the bottom of the throttle body, 3 hoses goto it and inside theres one passage on either side of the throttle plate.

I didn't actually remove the throttle body, just the hose that leads to the air filter. I'll check vacuum hoses to see if I knocked something off by accident, but driving it this morning, it runs fine (well, not fine, but the same as it did before I cleaned the tb) but not like it's got a vacuum leak. My problem is actually similar to this one that was just posted this morning, but it doesn't actually stall out. Kind of "bucks" when I'm driving it until the engine is warmed up, then only does it a little bit at high rpms on the highway or something. Here's what I've done so far to try to isolate the problem:
- replaced plugs (w/NGK platinum), cap & rotor (wires were done last spring and look fine)
- new engine temp sensor
- new fuel filter
- good ole' seafoam treatment
- current on oil/filter change
- cleaned tb w/carb cleaner by spraying inside tb, letting it sit 2 minutes, starting car & revving engine till warm. Shampoo, rinse, repeat.

Help?
