hey guys, i thought i'd try cleaning out my iacv so i did, i took it out sprayed the **** out of it with brake cleaner and let it dry and put it back on. Now i have a low idle which i thought cleaning the iacv would work but when i put it on and started the car, usually the idle would jump up to 1000 and stayed there until warmed (cleaned fitv) now when i started it, the car started then the needle drops all the way to 0 and stays there.

The car starts shaking a little but it doesn't die, doesn't sound like it wants to die. Throughout the whole time it's like this until the car is warmed up and the idle is still low and shakes a little, idle doesn't go to 0 any more but is around 500. Have any other ideas? i'll try adjusting the idle screw because it has been messed around before as far as i could remember

maybe u got air in ur system, bleed the coolant system by leaving ur cap open untill u reach engine running temp and then top it off with more coolant.

vacuum leak?

when i turn the car on (warm) the idle is at around 700 where it should b then as soon as i add gas the idle dips real low and stays there.

hmm, now the car is fine, it doesn't dip really really low but the idle is a bit low, i'll just adjust the idle screw back

LOL, it was the brake cleaner. Thats my guess. Should make sure you clean that **** off.
