78a GOING ON RIGHT NOW I'LL COME AND TELL YOU

I cannot Express how thankful i am for these videos you taught me so much!

Thank you for showing the way to test the IAC. I am going to test mine tomorrow. I was really worried that I was going to have to replace the part and I don't have a lot of cash. SUBSCRIBED!! And please keep the videos coming this one was very informative.

Very well explained. Thank you. Found code for IAC on a vehicle that i was working on today. Engine is really rough. Multiple misfires, running rich and whatnot. Perfect time to perform test.

Thank you! Looking at a car with no real issues except an IAC code. Your video has LOTS of testing info, and the picture-in-picture was a NICE addition. Very informative!

Thank you so much for this video , I have a 93 Summit with this part on it . This really helped.

Thanks a lot Dude. I'm having idle issues with my car and I didn't know how to comfirm if the IACV was responsible for it. That's history now thanks to your very informative video. God bless you.

Thanks man 👍. U are more helpful than the repair manual. Excellent presentation

This is a great video. I've been working on an idle issue on my mercruiser boat engine. Someone explained to e that I should check for power and resistance on my wiring harness at the IAC. I had no idea how to do that until I watched your video. Great attention to detail. The inset camera view as you test for resistance is a great feature! Thanks a bunch!

Tried the last step where you take out valve and turn the key, my valve exploded like others said theirs did. I got a new valve in and it actually fixed my idling problem but be warned, you run the risk of destroying your valve if you actuate it without it being mounted in your vehicle!

MrDoNHS You can supply power to the valve and you should hear the valve turn on and off. Give that a try.

Great explanation... I followed your last test. When I turn on the ignition I hear the IAC click and if I leave it in the ON position for a few secs without starting the engine, the IAC clicks back to the off position. Is this normal behavior? Thanks Jake

how you're doing I have a 1996 mercury grand marquis gs and it's making a very loud humming noise and I thought it was a wheel bearing but it wasn't a wheel bearing they said it was a idle air control valve so all I have to do is just change it and it will eliminate the problem

What are the part#'s for the 5 screws that hold the IACV to the Throttle Body? I messed up those phillips head screws removing them cuz they were a bit stuck. 2001 Maxima GLE

Thank you for the video. Quick question, I was getting P0505 too and bought a replacement part on Amazon. No more p0505 code but this particular IAC makes noise when the key is set to accessories. It sounds like a little motor is constantly running. Is that normal or should I ask for a replacement?

I got question guys. I got a 1998 5.7liter GMC Suburban. My idle seems to be a little high, it's idling now more or less at 1300 sometimes seems like 1500 , Do you think that the idle control valve could have something to do with this issue? I was thinking maybe it was possibly stuck open.. Thanks ahead again guys, you guys are always highly appreciated! 👍

I’m having that same clicking noise, you got in the background right after I replaced my valve gaskets 😕 anyone know what that is?

I checked mine with just turning the key and now im getting a check engine light that i did not have before so what do think happened?

First off thank you for such awesome informative videos! I did your test procedure on my 2000 maxima with the p0505 code, and it all checked out to be ok. I am still getting of course the p0505. Could it be that the throttle body needs a good cleaning, or what else would cause the code? Thanks in advance for your help and keep up the great work!

+doug resha Thanks man. If you checked the harness connector and the iacv, the '00 Maxima also has an air control valve on the power steering. If the vacuum hose or valve stops working correctly, you could get code p0505. You could pinpoint it quite quickly with a sophisticated scan tool. The basic scan tools won't pick it up.

i replaced the iacv with a used one and still the same problem, at cold starts it stalls until it warms up, no vacuum leaks. what else could it be or should i have replaced it with a nee iacv? thx.

Hey man i have a question. I did the last test and the pintle shot out of the IAC. Is that because i was stupid or something else every time i turned the car to the off position it would go out so far then it shot out still trying to find it as we speak.

Does the first test applicable in all 6 pin iacv? Mine is suzuki and has a 6 pin iacv. I wanted to test the iacv coz my engine when running for 30 mins there's a problem occure like when you press the accelerator a little bit the rpm will surge to 1800. Also I notice that when the ac compressor cut off the rpm also surge to almost 1800.

My Camry 2004 Le is throwing P0505 error code. I just replaced throttle body. Do you have suggestion any fix/suggestion for Camry.

Good show. But if ur having idle issues u may need to clean the valve and seat and air passages and throttle body too. Or u could have significant vacuum leak somewhere. Or u may need. A tune up. Plugs ,cap n rotor, fuel filter, air filter, pcv valve, ect.

Great video. I tried to remove the iac from my car but I stripped one of the screws. Any ideas to get it removed? Tried using pliers but couldn't get a good grip to loosen it up. Thanks in advanced!

Good good video, T have a 01' Mazda Tribute 3.0. Idles rough, checked IACV clean inside. No power at key ON! Im on disabillity, things are tight like most places. That fuse on the IACV also tends to EEC, VPWR, EVR, MAF, ( bulkhead)? Most abbreviations I'm familiar, but EEC , EVR? V power ! I guess ? Ha ha it starts right up! 5 seconds later it starts to stumble to death (dies)! Plz sir i need help .

So I have a 99 gmc sonoma. And she runs great. But! Every day coming home from work the rpm surges when I'm doing over 70mph. My gmc does not have the check engine light on or any other. And when the rpm surge happens she has power. No transmission slip she takes off and when I step on the gas it goes down to normal speed but continues to surge.

Do I need to reset my computer on my 1999 Subaru legacy outback, after I check and clean my IACV? I didn't actually remove it all the way but after reassembling, my car is now acting like my battery isn't working for a minute. It starts but immediately dies. When I try to turn over again, it acts like I have a dead battery but if I wait a second then try again, it starts but not in a strong way. I know my battery is fine because I just got it tested. When my father and I replaced and adjusted my TPS the other day, we followed the recommended computer reset protocol and that got rid of the At Oil Temp and check engine light. It is shifting so smoothly now and all seemed perfect so we decided to see if we could clean the IACV, we were concerned we might screw it up so just shot carb cleaner into it and then put all the hoses and sensors back into place. Seemed to be fine until the next day when I went to start it and experienced it dying and then having issues starting. I've never had an issue with it starting. Wondering if i should've done the computer reset after messing with the IACV too. Or perhaps we didn't put something back correctly? Anyone have any advice here?

I like the video, only suggestion would be to go a bit slower when showing where this part 'lives' and zoom in from wide view towards the part/area of the car you are working on. But great Info!!

Great videos. I have a P0505 hard code which I believe has something to do with either the ISC motor and/or ECM. But before I fix this code and spend lots of money, I noticed that all four of my readiness monitors are NOT complete. I understand the procedure to reset these readiness monitors, but do I need to repair this P0505 first BEFORE I can run the readiness monitors? Is there another option or procedure to reset these readiness monitors first? I know I can get several other codes when the four readiness monitors are run, but is there a way to reset these monitors so I have an idea of what else is wrong with my vehicle? I don't want to spend money to repair code P0505 ONLY to find out other codes later when the readiness monitors are run. Please help.

Does the iac stay buzzing in the in position?

I had some issues on my 2001 maxima and for p0505. And found that the intake boot badly cracked just before throttle body and got p0505. I replaced intake boot and cleaned the check engine light and it never came back. But strange sticky throttle Happened. Loose throttle cable fixed that but still had some strange idle. I had to do a idle air volume. Relearn procedure which is specifically for 2000-2001 maxima. After that it’s been fine. www.nissanhelp.com/diy/maxima/projects/2000_2001_nissan_maxima_idle_air_volume_learning.php Love your vids very clear and to the point.

Great video, but I need to go a bit deeper. I want to learn exactly how the IAC steps, they are not simply fully open or fully closed, they can be set to various positions by the ECM to get different idle speeds. Yours has two sets of 3 pins. Pins 2 and 5 have 12V to them, then I guess a Ground signal from the ECM on pin 1 half steps the valve in one direction and then a Ground on pin 4 puts the other half step in that direction. To move the valve the other way, the ECM applies Ground signals on the 3 an 6 pins in a similar fashion. Is that correct? I have a GM 1987 2.8L V6 Fiero. My IAC valve has only 4 pins. I want to make a setup to actuate the value on the bench. My brother is an instructor at Porter and Chester and he would like to have a little set up to demonstrate how IAC valves work to his students. So learning how they actually work is the first step. I read 50 Ohms across each pair. I guess one pair moves the valve in one direction, and the other pair moves it in the other direction - but not quite, read on. I took some baby steps and tried it with 5V first... no action. Then I tried it with 9V (to be safe). One pair of contacts, still no action, but on the other pair puts a small twitch on the plunger in one direction (even if I reverse voltage polarity on the pair, it still twitches in the SAME direction). Ok, I guess it does use 12V, but seeing just a twitch is on right path. But the twitch was rotational on the plunger NOT in or out, and again, I expected it to twitch in the other direction using the other pair of contacts - but not the slightest twitch with those contacts! So, before I try it at 12V, I need to get a better idea on what signals/timing the ECM puts on the IAC valve to actuate it. There appears to be no position feedback from the valve to the ECM. I guess on power up, the ECM steps the valve many, many times to get to a fully open (home) position, and then the ECM keeps track of the step pulses to determine its position from then on - until power off. I have used stepper motors many times in the past, and that is what is nice about them, you don't normally need any feedback because the are dead on accurate on the position (and knowing it's position) if you pulse them properly. But I have no operational specs on my IAC valve. Any ideas? Thanks.

would that be the same for nissan pulsar n16 motor

i rerplaced my iac on my 2002 SS,,still has a too high idle,,so its on to the next step??? intake leak perhaps???

I have a 04 Ford Freestar that will act like it's running out of gas at first cold start. Fuel pressure is fine. If I hold RPM's at 3000 or more for a minute it will be fine but RPM's at idle are jerky. No check engine lights are on. Sound like the IACV to you? Thanks

does the iac valve cause symptons of 1. high rpm over 1000 2. low rpm 1000 or less 3. car shakes when its on 4. lack of power like if the car wants to shut off while you driving it or not driving it. ??? 5. motor feels weak like if it dont wanna stay on feels like if it want to shut down?? 6. can it also cause battery to die out also?? sorry just curious to know please help me on this one. thanks for your time and patience god bless.

I have a 94 ranger 4.0 that has a very bad idle. Also when I hit the brakes hard it stalls out but only if its low on gas. I can replicate the stall every time but only when its getting close to e. If it has a quarter tank or more, it will not stall at all Sometimes when im at a stop it will jerk. Not sure if thats related. The iac valve looks super clean almost looks brand new. The only code its throwing I looked up and its mass af sensor which I already replaced. Also I can smell that its running very rich.

WaterWhipin Sounds like the fuel pump pickup is toward the rear of the fuel tank. When you're low on fuel and nail the brakes, the fuel is being forced away from the fuel pump pickup point and stalling out. Try to keep enough gas in the tank or you can burn out the fuel pump. The fuel acts as a lubricant for the pump. Regarding the rough idle, first thought is the idle air control valve. Other areas to look at include the fuel pressure regulator. EGR valve and PCV valve (I have videos for both) or you could have a leak at the air duct causing the MAF code. A bad idle can take some time to diagnose.

Lol I checked mine and my vehicle was stalling out so I checked it and did the same thing, yeh it was dirty. The spring and little pin just fell out

HI Great Video very detailed! 2 quick questions please? 2001 Nissan Maxima. In park the rpm's go from 1200 to 1800, back to 1200 back to 1800. It does this very quickly and does not stop. Is this a symptom of a bad or crudded up IACV? Also I read one place that replacing the IACV could short the ECM or maybe when it fails it could short the ECM, have you ever heard of this? I'd like to prevent a shorted ECM from happening if possible when I go to check and possibly replace the IACV. Thanks a lot!!
