Great video imho. My 02 4.7 4wd dakota was stalling when coming to a stop. I did just this but i used gun oil and a few cue tips. Did the trick, thanks again
Decent video, thanks. Simple but clever way to mark reference points (styrofoam plate). And thanks for not injecting that ubiquitous but very distracting synth a lot are using on videos.
Mine looked new, think it was replaced by last guy. BUT THE SLOT IT SLIDES IN WAS GUNG! All I had to do is carb cleaner that and brush it out. Purrs like a kitten.
That white substance was >>White Lithium Grease. It is a bit heavier/thicker than 3inOne oil. 3inOne oil just might be vacuumed out of the IAC due to the engine air intake suction. A slightly heavier grease may have been better. Such as Synthetic if not the OEM.
But bro it breaks the lock which keeps the spindle in position. I removed th iac of my bike.while doing throttle cleaning ,my father turned the spindle and when i fitted it back guess what the spindle started rotating and came out.
Well-intentioned Brandon. However it breaks that plastic shoulder inside, that it locks into. You're lucky It didn't break your plastic shoulder the pintle shaft goes into, and the idle air control valve is likely to vibrate and move the pintle. The shoulder made of plastic is not going to hold it from moving if there's any vibration which there is probably and it's not going to stay put for long. this might work in a bad situation where you have to have it right now, but it's not going to be a lasting solution.
Good point! Another way to remove the spindle is by remove it from TB but do not remove the cable. Turn on car key, the IAC will automatically move spinde forward and eject it. Don't forget to wrap the IAC in some container or the spring and shaft will gone!
Sorry to tell you, but you never miss with the spring or any of those Parts my best advice, get a new one, because after that you are going to have random misfires and differents codes
I’m sure you broke it. It does not screw out like that you have to pull it straight out. They only cost nine dollars and up if you don’t want to buy a new one you just glue it in place which I did because when you can’t get to a a computer you don’t have access to adjustments
Im surprised his IAC valve worked after this cleaning. I was always told never try to fix or clean sensors. Just buy new OEM ones. They have gone up a bit in price but its better to pay for new parts than risk doing thousands of dollars worth of damage to your truck. Just my two cents
A heart surgeon could perform a heart transplant and some of you youtube know it alls would interject your opinion on how he should've performed it. And haven't seen the inside of an operating room. So what he didn't know what the little pin was called. You don't have to always be the smartest person in the room.
Got the p0505 code. I took it off and sprayed it with carbonator cleaner. Now it idles worst. Starts up good. I did not take it apart. I will do what you did. I am thinking I can just clean it. It's not like a brake pads. I will let you know if it works.
My viper has this same style IAC and I cleaned it and the idle is /better/ but I still have to start my car twice because it won't regulate idle immediately. I'm going to try this and see if this fixes it.
well... I just destroyed my idle air control. mine is locked in with a rectangular shaped insert, so when I tried to unscrew... it then cracked and split🤔
The video was poor advice, though I gave him the benefit of the kind intentions. Mine broke as well the plastic shoulder that it goes into that locks it in place is broken. Well in a pinch I think his advice is good but the force needed to detach the pintle and rod breaks the shoulder that it's inserted into so the life won't be very long probably for this, because it's not locked in place and vibration could move that pintle and the plastic will probably deteriorate more. Thus I had to buy another AIC valve, or I will have to take it out again and replace it anyway. This videos author is blessed because his did not break it is likely to break the author needs to know that other people's very same idle air control valves.plastic shoulder part it is inserted into are breaking like yours and mine. Though it goes into the metal threaded something beyond the plastic shoulder part.

That "little nipple here" is called a "pintle". This IAC valve isn't, even the slightest bit, in need of cleaning, BTW. I'm reminded of a couple phrases while watchin this......"looking for a solution to a problem that doesn't exist" and "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". Nice video demonstrating the breakdown of an IAC valve, though. Not sure why your "problem" went away after this, but I doubt this is what "fixed" it. IAC valve has nothing to do with shifting and rough idle can be caused by many things.....IAC more a factor in idle speed than roughness.
I've found the wire harness connectors connection for some reason can be an issue on the TPS and my thought is just cleaning the tip of the IAC maybe. I'm no expert and have only removed the TPS and rotate full motion to verify the DMM resistance readings range for the pinouts and the IAC to clean with just some carb cleaner dampened shop towels. Also, cleaning with the dampened shop towel the inside of the valve and as far as I could get in of the inside of the body. Seems to do the job when mine starts running funky. Wondering if just the TPS, for some reason needs a full range of motion, is all at times.
It did for a bit then started to have issues. I would just suggest replacing it for a new one. Not too expensive but I would stick with OEM for these sensors.
The IAC valve will be damaged if you turn the valve head. The valve works by moving the needle in and out, not spinning.
After 3 other vids, this is what I was looking for. Information is complete presented straight forward. Very good sir, thank you for your time.

Nice wasted time watching other videos trying to get the info awesome video plane and simple straight to the point thank you
That's how you destroy the iac valve, the plastic bits on threaded rod are stops so rod doesn't spin in place.
Time for a new valve. 🤔
Yup. Pulled mine out to clean it and ruined it this way. Had to go buy a new one yesterday for being an idiot. 150 bucks down the drain.

same my bad IAC thanks for youtube smile ...

If your car stalling or die after start, disconnect the iac and just drive home first.

@@MRsickcat84 how do you replace it afterwards?
I think the gunk was some kind of lithium grease.
probably white lithium.

It should have been helpful if you showed the before and after idling.

So what he didn't know what the little pin was called. You don't have to always be the smartest person in the room.
What is the little pin called then??? Yeah, that's what I thought.
Little pin
If you take it off and start your engine it will push the pin out it self to clean it

Still doesn't work. Put a new one on. Still doesn't work. Fuck cars
Try Clean throttle body n map sensor .

I thought the edge of the silver cap made the indentation.
Hello try to found idle control valve in 2015 GMC Yukon XL can t to see it
mine is different+ smaller+ plastic. i cleamed.and put 1 drop oil. non admustable on mine
good job
Yep 35 at Orileys
Great video man but they only cost like $10 it would be way easier just to buy a new one lol
Where can you get these at for $10 cheapest I found is $35 appreciate a place to purchase at $10 thanks, GREAT VIDEO

Good video but I would have put some locktight ( thread lock ) on the threads before reassembly
Whys that? I have changed out mine 5 times and engine light still keeps coming on code p0505
why didn't he measure the length when he took it out?
They aren't threads
his slapdash approach sounds like a back yard mechanic to me
This is a $15.00 part.
Air compressor would be best maybe.
Did it work?
It did for a bit then started to have issues. I would just suggest replacing it for a new one. Not too expensive but I would stick with OEM for these sensors.
Q tips
Lol why not buy a new one? They’re not expensive....
On a Miata, they cost $500.
Stuart Bear stock?
My Suzuki outboard $300 I just ordered an eight dollar one off Amazon going to see if that will fit but I’m not gonna hold my breath
