(just to make sure im assuming to clean the IAC u remove from throttle body, spary with carb cleaner, use brush to clean out, the bolt back on throttlebody if im wrong please correct me) the reason im doing this is i have been having my idle at around 7-800 rpms, but then occasionally it will drop down to 500 rpms (sometimes like 3-400 lol) and then it will jump back up. so if this doenst fix it i was gonna work on changing vacuum lines, i just need to know which vacuum lines i would actually need to replace and exact parts for it (i was kinda assuming u just go buy a length of vacuum hose and then cut it to size, i didnt know if there was an actual kit or actual lines to do this with) ok that was the first thing....the second thing is there is a squeaking coming from my alternator. Idk if it would just be the pulley on the alternator, just the belt, or if i would actually need a whole new alternator all suggestions welcome, thanks guys sorry for the long post __________________ "Patience is not a virtue.
