well its fixed! I went out and tightened that plastic piece all the way clockwise and started her up! BOOM! Idles perfect now!

My question is, will I need to unscrew that in the winter? Or will it be fine for now on?

Thanks,

Nick

I live in Ohio, and I'm not to sure if I should really remove this, since we do frequently get down to single digit temps, and even sub zero temps in the winter. Do you think it would be smart for me to completly rid the engine of this?

If so, could someone do a technical writeup on blocking/removing this piece?

Thanks,

Nick

Undo the 2 phillips screws on top and then get a very large screwdriver or a flat piece of metal thin enough to engage the groove on the plastic piece inside, screw the plastic piece down (clockwise) all the way. Replace the screws on top and it should be fine. You could also remove the valve and take it apart and clean it, sometimes works, mine did not. I now have mine totally disabled, no air ,no vacuum, no coolant, no high idle-so what.
Good luck, Glen cool.gif

How did you disable it if tightening this screw didn't work.

And when you mean clockwise, do you mean if we were sitting where the firewall is looking towards to radiator, or do you mean if we were sitting where the radiator is looking towards the firewall? Or am I completly wrong and the plastic thing is pointing upwards?

Thanks,

Nick

I would start by making sure that all the air bubbles are out of your coolant system. The bleed valve is on the front part of the head by the distributor.

Been done, but the reason I know it wasn't that is once the car warms up it idles fine. Thats what leads me to believe its the IACV. So if someone could please help me locate it I'd really appreciate it.
