I need to clean out my Idle Air Control Valve (IACV) and I need to know how to take it out? Has anyone here taken theirs out or replaced theres before? If so can someone please tell me how to do it.

 

There are three bolts. You'll also need to remove the harness and bracket for the EGR sensor thingey (don't know what its really called). That's held to the IACV by a 10mm bold right in the middle.

 

I took it out, it was not that hard to do. Just unplug all teh harnesses, then there are 4 screws, 3 that connect to the manifold, and one that holds one of the harnesses in place. You will need to take off that harness screw to get to the one that connects to the manifold. After that you're done, just pull off, mine was dirty as hell, made a big difference in idle.

 

What does everyone mean by harnesses?

 

The wires
