ok so the car didnt runn for long but it used to start

Now i cleaned the iacv and it wont even start.


I think i may have taken it to far apart. I took off the outter part that the 4 prong plug goes into and cleaned that to, after i noticed it was electronc, i think that was a no-no ??

Could this be possible cause of the aicv or did the car just finally decide to die?

 

Is that the IAC Valve you mean? and which plug are you referring to?

 

ya the iacv There a thing on the outside part that is help in with 3 phillips screws.

I took that off to see if it might be dirty .... its a plactic peice and the big grey connecter goes into it

 

There is a plastic screw on top of the IACV, make sure it's not snug all the way in. Try to loosen it to raise your idle.

Also , when you try to start the car after iacv cleaning, press on the accelerator pedal.

 

Bump

messed with the screw, even took it apart agian just to check everything.
No start.

I think i broke it when i cleaned the electronic inside part with throttle body cleaner....

 

even with a malfunctioning IACV your car should still start, your idle might be high or low, but the car should still start.

When you state the car wont start, do you turn the key and nothing?
does it keep cranking with no fire?

 

cranks but no fire

 

Go over your work, make sure you didn't unplug any other wires.
Check the ECU for stored error codes.

 

What year is your max ? what exactly did you brake ? (The golden inside cap with 3 screws is not electronic) .

Take pics and post them up so may be we can figure it out.

 

Ok guys heres a update


The car runs now but you gotta keep reving it.

If the rpm fall under 2k the car sounds bad, misfires, sounds like its about to stall and then stalls if you just let off the throttle.


If i hold the rpms up tho it stays on..


btw i checked the MAF with a extra one i have on hand, but no change

Iacv or throttle position sensor??

 

Id say IACV. Makes mroe sense. But I might be wrong. Stalling sounds like no air, and well, no air means IACV. I think, right? GL

 

The car is running awsome !

First off im not not sure what fixed the original problem of the car stalling seconds after start up. It was either the crankshaft posistion sensor or a bad fuel pump .
The misfire problem was very dumb , i cant beleive i missed it, the gasket between the iacv and the IM, it was on totaly wrong, was only hold by one screw ...lol

but its what happens when your working at night with poor lighting and etc


Thanks everyone for their sopport and help with this!
