Default How to clean IACV on DPFI Idling problem

Well, I've been searching and asking, but there are still no answers. Its all for MPFI model but mine is a DPFI. Basically this is just to show you where to locate it on your model because the placement is different. My symptom was when my car run cold everything is normal, but once it's warmed up the idle jump up and down like crazy. This fixed the problem and hope it helps.





Put back in reverse order of removable. Thanks for looking.

Anyone have any tips for removing the two vacuum lines. Mine are freaking warped on there. I tried everything to get them off. Should I try a chemical or is there a special tool?

Get a pair of pliers, grip on the line where it would be "mated" to the metal, and rotate the pliers (and the line) around the pipe. Should break it free. That always works for me.

vise grips is what i use... while they are on, just twist the hoses on the nipples of the valve. it helps break them loose..

but one question, are they vacuum lines or coolant. i got a new iacv for my da and it was coolant...
