I took those three bolts off the back of the manifold that hold the IACV onto the manifold...Its 3 bolts and one little bolt holding a braket that blocks you from the far bolt

Take it off, put it on a bench, take the little copper thing off )3 little screws) and spray all in there with cleaner...reinstall and your done

Make sure you dont lose those three little screws that hold the copper thing onto it...I lost em when I cleaned a buddies IACV... and had to break out the metal detector

I have my TB off right now and wanted to clean the IACV while I am at it. Is it the circular black piece of the bigger silver piece farther back in the engine bay. I think its the bigger one but I am not sure. OR, is it the piece with the idle adjustment screw on it? I am looking for my Haynes manual but can't find it.

I can't believe I paid for this crap. Hope it helps you (cuz it sure as hell hasn't helped me yet!!!)

Check out the file starting w/letter "N" "overhaul". I think there's more pics, but I haven't looked through everything yet.
