Hey yall,
I been looking really hard at my ICV and i have cleaned it twice with MAF cleaner and some Electrical stuff cleaner... Im kinda scared to get carb cleaner in there cause it supposedly eats plastic for lunch. But either way its started to idle much better on startup considering what it was doing.
My question is hgow the ICV actually works, is that little metallic flapper thingy in there like one of them springs that when it gets to a certain temp it shrinks or expands? or is there a spring in there controlin that flapper lookin thingy?
I moved it around a little and it got stuck when i pulled it down, but i cleaned the **** outta it and got it to break loose again and go back to its normal position, which is halfway down the top hole. Or at least mine is.
I searched for ICV but its just a bunch of people suggesting others that they should clean it. all that i saw anyways.
Thanks for any help or insight to how this thingy works!
