hey my car has been idling around 500 but lately we got hit will severely cold weather and the rpms would drop and almost stall then back up again. it would do this twice before settling at 500 again. this is during normal driving like when im waiting to turn left it would do this, at a stop light..does this mean my egr pipe is in need of cleaning? recent mod installed was the CustomMSP SMIC..help!!
Hmm... I can't seem to find the "special torx wrench" to take off the IAC valve... I have a torx bit set but the torx screw on the valve has a little nipple in the middle...
Anyone know where i can find the "special torx wrench" I checked sears and they don't have it.
Help...
BTW the original post for this quote is #97... It has the pictures also. I am still waiting on some time to do the EGR clean. But i figure this would be easier since its right in your face.

Hey Im new to the site and am buying msp monday when you hit the clutch at like three four thousand rpm to just roll to a stop sign or what ever the car stalls is this just because of the turbo and to high of rpms or could it be the egr valve. the car has eighty thousand miles and im sure its never been cleaned. and how do you reset the pcm? Anyone who can help or has info let me know

if its the egr then your rpms will go crazy at idle and your engine will be close to stalling. i don't know what you mean by pcm but to reset the computer in the car u unhook the battery and put the lights on to drain any power remaining in the system and then connect everything back up.
I just replaced my EGR today (had cleaned it several times before); idles like new (well, mods aside....).
I personally think that cleaning the EGR is fundamentally a waste of time. IMO, it's much better to get a new/better designed one than to continue otherwise.
We'll see how long this one lasts though (aftermarket from Autozone - Mitsubishi solenoid, all made in Japan).

i agree. after i cleaned mine one time and seen the problem return after 1000 miles i bought a new redesigned one and no problems for about 30000 miles so far.

btw that torx bit is called a tamper proof torx
What kind of egr did you buy then?

cleaning may help some cars but not mine. i now have 26000 miles on the new egr valve and no problems.

I should do this before the car comes out of storage (i.e gets unburried)
