[QUOTE="John G, post: 1029543, member: 63360"] The stalling symptoms that I experience are completely and immediately fixed when I replace the IAC valve. So I don't think there's a reason to suspect the symptoms are explained completely by some other cause, such as leaks in the intake. But I am glad to learn about the intake manifold gasket anyway. My check engine light never comes on, so I have not scanned for codes. jpiro, yes I have tried cleaning the IAC as you describe. It is a cheaper solution, costing a few dollars for a can of cleaner as compared to about $56 for a replacement part. And it does work for a while. However, I found the problem recurred sooner after a cleaning than after replacement, and replacing is easier anyway, taking only about two minutes. [/QUOTE]
