wtf idle problems.... please help

[norcalE30]

So the other day i bought some CRC maf cleaner and used it to clean out my throttle body, maf, and idle control valve and now the damn thing wont idle... When I start it up it idles around 1100 for a while then fluctuates from about 800-1200. Everything feels normal when driving, it just wont idle... This is my dd so any help is appreciated

double check connections and if they are all good check your IAC valve it maybe stuck(closed or open) cant remember which way right now

thats what the shop said... he said something about it spinning tho... when i unplug the iac rev's shoot up to like 3000 then back down to about 2000

My first suspicion would be that you have one or more intake leaks. The only sure way of finding intake leaks is to have a smoke test run on the intake.

the thought had run across my mind... using maf cleaner wouldnt create an intake leak tho....

[jlevie]

The MAF cleaner wouldn't cause a leak, but what you have to do to be able to clean with it could.

But i didnt remove anything besides the airbox and the intake boot.... both got reinstalled properly. Im thinking i fubar'd the IAC

did you clean it out really well? make sure everything is plugged back in. if its surging up and down. i would really look at the ICV again.

wow crisis averted... simple ICV swap did the trick

Good to hear. I was worried you had cracked your intake boot.
