Title: Clean the IACV
Post by: pineygroveshop on March 22, 2015, 10:39:02 PM
Hey Y'all,
I'm doing some maintenance and saw that the IACV grommet (gasket to some of you) is missing.  It has been gone for some time now and I never gave it any thought until I read, again, someone saying to make sure it is in place.  I've got one on order and thought that I might as well clean and lube the IACV.  How do I do that?

Yup, in the words of one wiser than me,  "Oh, they all do that"..... :nod

There are a few on here that have had bits of IACV disappear into the darkest recesses of the garage; if you must clean it, a cotton bud and some carb cleaner is as good as anything, just don't try to dismantle it.

But as I said originally, if it's running ok, and the IACV isn't sticking when tested with TuneECU, I'd leave it alone.

Thanks fellas.  I had read the horror stories.  I'll just do a little light cleaning from the outside.
