SHIEF Posted October 22, 2003 Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 Good call Benny. It's your idle air control (valve, sensor). It does what it says, controls air going in your intake at idle. Is the cars' idle off i.e. too fast or too slow, does motor cut out? Or do you just have a check engine light? Find this and check the sensor itself, if ok, take it off and clean the whole unit (take it apart and use brake cleaner on it). Alot of times these clog up with crap going into your intake and cause your light to come on or gives your car a false idle. If this doesn't work after resetting codes (if there are any), then you need to replace it. Hope this helps mang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
