    No you won't if you do it correctly.... gotta be gentle with it and just kinda jiggle it as you pull/ push on it.. To get it out easily remove it, connect harness, key on..... it will eject itself

    Would a stuck IAC valve cause a long crank situation. I did pull the iac out yesterday and the piston would not move. I was afraid to force it, but now I will go back and pull it out, clean it and see if it makes a difference. Thanks.

    Mine took extreme amounts of force to push in, and it wouldn’t come back, even after I sprayed it with Throttle Body cleaner over and over. I just ordered another one, let’s see how it goes.

    I know this is late but I had a ford f150 that would do that at times. It was something in the intake that turns... I think it was called the "Intake Manifold Runner Control Motor". But yeah Mine would make quite the noise lol. At first I thought the intake sucked something up haha. Hope that you've already fixed it but just in case, hopefully this will help

    I would only use automotive cleaners. WD40 is a penetrating oil; I would not use it on the IAC, MAF sensor or other electrical components. Only use cleaners recommended for those components

    If you are buying cheap after market ones they can fail easily; I’ve had that happen. Another thing, how do you know it’s your IAC valve that’s failing and not something else?
