Does anyone know a way to fix this. My car started randomly dying out at idle. It will start back up but the idle will bounce around a bit and die out again. I had this problem before and it was the IACV and i think i got lucky and found one at a junk yard that time but last couple times i haven't had much luck finding cars like mine. It seems as that horse shoe shaped thing that goes over the sensor gets stripped out and it ends up coming off causing the car to not run right. What exactly does that clip do? Anyways i looked around online a bit but seems my options are pretty limited on replacing this part.

 

VG motor right?

basically it's a stepper motor. turns one way to open and the other way to close.

that couples with the sandwich plate in front of it that opens and closes based on temp is what keeps the car idle going.

 

Check the steel coolant line bolted to the intake manifold are clear and not full of corrosion and rust, stopping your coolant from reaching the wax pellet! It's pretty much works like a choke does!
