what's IAC stand for

 

[aMaff]

Idle Air Control

 

[DeadGeneration]

oh, that's the idle knob eh?

 

[NCZ13]

it was relatively easy to clean. much easier then the egr valve. i just sprayed it with some brake kleen to get rid of the carbon buildup on that brownish plunger piece.

i drove it around last night for awhile, and i had 2 misfire episodes, but ill attest that to some arcing. ill swap out the plugs this week.

here was a video of my car missing. although it doesnt look like a big deal, you feel it throughout the whole entire car.

Do you have an automatic? I dip into the 200RPM range some times on my manual when I take off with too little gas. It's actually kind of fun, lol. Rough idle has gotten me that low as well before, but I just rev it back to life. It hasn't done that in a long time for me, I considered doing all the cleaning of the various parts to fix it after reading all the threads. I just raced the car around a bit and it doesn't do that to me any more. I vary the car between driving like a grandma, normal, and aggressively.

 

[NCZ13]

nope im manual as well. i dunno im about to leave for work, im sure my car will be ok lol

 

[NCZ13]

drove my car home from work. it idled like s***. the idles would dip low when i pushed the clutch in. when i started it up, and started to drive off, my idle started goin nuts, and then idled low, then died.

wtf is wrong with my car,

 

[Salmon_Rob]
