They have i litlle valve system inside and when you get a good one you can shack it and its solid and the little valve inside keeps breaking off when that happens you can shake it and it rattles i'm just wondering if there is something else going on that keeps cousing this to happen or am i just being dumb and need to stop getting them from junk yards lolThose who stand for nothing will fall for anything. 1985 e30 325e chipped 4:10 lsd forged control arm bushing and old ass bbs weaves. 1966 ford galaxie 500 XL 390. 1982 e21 320i........not running. :wgaf:

Are you sure cuz when my car first started doing this the first one i pulled off rattled and i replaced it with one that didnt rattle and it worked fine for about 3 month's then started idle spiking and acting all jerky wile driving it and i pulled it off and it was rattling like the last one. Then i thought just like you said "mabey they all rattle" so me and my bro stopped by the junk yard today and grabbed the only 2 iac's in the yard witch both rattle and neither worked.......but the one that didn't rattle worked.......sooooo i dont know are you sure?Those who stand for nothing will fall for anything. 1985 e30 325e chipped 4:10 lsd forged control arm bushing and old ass bbs weaves. 1966 ford galaxie 500 XL 390. 1982 e21 320i........not running. :wgaf:

If you had said that more than one NEW ICV's have failed, I'd say that the ICM is bad. But with used parts all bets are off. Additionally intake leaks can look like a bad ICV. Have a shop run a smoke test and fix the leaks it reveals.The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.
