so i cleaned my idle control valve b/c my car was doing this erradic idle thing when cold (1600-2200) and sometimes it idles high when warm too, sometimes not.
problem not solved. the piston seems to move easily enough in the icv. and the mechinism seems simple enough, it the piston moving freely enough to eliminate it as a possibility? |

did the coolant temp sensor just because it was easy and only 20bucks.
still idles weird, but sounds a little a little different to my ear, maybe just my imagination. the temp gauge still bottoms out occasionally, so i hope i don't have a short.... but i probably do, because it tends to bottom out if i stomp on the gas in neutral, then it pops back up. weirdness. cleaned the iacv again just for the heck of it, no help. |
