[QUOTE="John G, post: 1013986, member: 63360"] idle air control valve. clean or replace. ToddZ has a project on this site for cleaning. Cleaning worked for me initially, but within a year the problem returned. Not fun when you're in traffic and you stall, so I replaced it. Replacing it had a much longer lasting benefit. I bought one three years ago from Rockauto.com for $51. Airtex/Wells brand. It still works. About cleaning, you use carb cleaner spray and a rag. I found that it's hard to see if you're actually doing anything, when you try to clean it. My cleaning rag did not get visibly dirty. But if it works for you, great. The part is very easy to get to. It's on the top of the engine. Easy to remove, easy to replace. The only hard part is determining if you are doing anything when you try to clean its insides. [/QUOTE]
