jeremy Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 Did I miss something? I just looked up the IAC and it is $124 from Napa and $93 from Murrays/O'Reillys..... ...last time I replaced one on an LQ1 (which has been a few years) it was only $20-30 ....anyone know of anywhere that still sells them for anywhere close to that amount? ...on a side related note, how effective can cleaning the IAC be in lieu of replacing? thanks!

slick Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 Usually all they need is cleaned. On a side note, it seems as if parts have been jumping up and down lately. Most likely due to supply. I looked at struts one week, in the $40-ish range. Following week, near $90. A few weeks later, back into the $50's. BTW, Rockauto still has them in the $30 range. Quote
jeremy Posted October 13, 2009 Author Report Posted October 13, 2009 Thanks Chris!! I completely forgot about RockAuto.....$27 + shipping!! I will trying cleaning the current one first and if that doesn't work I will definitely get one from them Quote
slick Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 Be sure to look for a 5% discount code on the internet. It'll usually cover most of the taxes. Quote

sloick Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 You can get them for $1 at a jy.... or free in your pocket Of course, it'll be debatable whether it'll work or not... take several. they all work. i pulled one from a 97 lesabre w/ 10k miles and it worked fine in my LQ1 Quote
5speedz34 Posted October 29, 2009 Report Posted October 29, 2009 FWIW: According to Manic they can and do go bad. Cleaning doesn't just alleviate the problem. Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted October 29, 2009 Report Posted October 29, 2009 I cleaned mine and that worked great. I think turning on the ignition with the IAC out will get it to kick out the little threaded spindle. I cleaned that real good, then lubed with motor-oil. To get it to suck back in, I put the spindle back in as far as it would go without forcing, then gently put it back in its bore and turned on the ignition. Quote
5speedz34 Posted October 29, 2009 Report Posted October 29, 2009 I cleaned mine and it didn't really do anything for me....... Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted October 29, 2009 Report Posted October 29, 2009 Well, it doesn't cost anything to try. Quote
5speedz34 Posted October 29, 2009 Report Posted October 29, 2009 Ya my problem is when the car is cold it takes an extended period of time to start. Once its warm no problems. I also have a fluctuating idle. I think its a vacuum leak/ iac problem. Quote

I also have a fluctuating idle. I think its a vacuum leak/ iac problem. A bad coolant temperature sensor can do that. I usually check mine by letting the car sit overnight...hook up the scanner without starting the engine. The sensor should read within a few degrees of the current outside temperature. Quote
5speedz34 Posted October 29, 2009 Report Posted October 29, 2009 I don't have a scanner. But I know I replaced that sensor because I broke it off a few years ago. Quote
