Basically, it was a nice day today so I went out and did some cleanup and replaced my horribly sandblasted fog lights with new ones.
After I was done, I just took another peek under the hood and decided to take off the IAC and spray it out with some TB cleaner. I had a little more time, so I decided to turn some wrenches for a little while longer.
Now my car had idled just fine before(or so I thought), but now it is an absolute dead stable 700 rpm now. Before it wandered a bit between 700 and 900 rpm, but now it just stays right there and won't budge off that nice steady idle.
Its amazing what 5 or 10 minutes and spray cleaner will do!
...Especially when you remember to plug everything back in... so it will stay running... and no dash warning lights will come on... and you won't have to unplug your battery to clear the error... along with having to reset your clock, and all your radio presets... etc... So it was more like 20 minutes instead. lol :banghead
