IAC Valve clean (with photos)

[James Hatch]

Howdy all,



First I would like to thank (I think it is) Todd, for the IAC valve guide in the Projects section. Second, on with the photos, yes? They may be large, as I think my phone is setup to take 1920x1080 photos.. at least you'll see all the details. Trac is at 170.xxx miles, and I haven't cleaned it yet until today, and that's 3 years with the Trac. All for now, nothing below here except photos in the order I went, and I didn't take pictures of putting it back together. :banana: :supercool:

That white spot on the fourth photo, on the bottom by the valve is the clean spot where I got the q-tip dirty.. Had to go back into the house for more q-tips... 4 wasn't enough..

Nice job, but you almost used all your library storage on those six pics. Should be able to re-scale them 50% or smaller on another computer. Please? LOL

If they are jpegs, that can be scaled during upload.

These photos may be worse than waterboarding! Too bad that Guantanamo was closed down because the prisoners could have been forced to view these photos for 8 hours straight.



Sorry James H, but I couldn't resist. :grin:



I don't believe the carbon build-up hinders the IAC function as much as cleaning off the the plunger and seat does. But it's good to be anal while you're in there.
