The valve is housed inside the aluminium block right behind the butterfly plate (I think in the 2K one it is made by Hitachi). You cannot clean it completely unless you bring it out and clean it...

What I did was sprayed a lot carb cleaner right thro the butterfly plate. When you try to start the car, it would crank and die, crank and die and then shoooch the cleaner is sucked into the value. Some cleaning is achieved via this method but not complete.

Hope this helps....

I just did that and now I have a high idle situation. When I do the Idle procedure the car will idle at 650 but once I shut it off and re-start the idle goes back up to 1k. I was thinking that I need to clean the IACV or that I might have damaged it by cleaning the TB.
