CEL code P0505. what to do?
so i have the check engine light and i have a scanner i check the scanner and it says i have a idle control system malfunction. so i took off the idle air control valve, thinking it was dirty and is maybe getting stuck. so i cleaned it as best i could. and put it back on.
now the car is idling and 1500rpm consistently, but when you tap the throttle it will drop down to 1000rpm then sometimes stop and hold at 1250 and sometimes go back up to 1500. then also sometimes (only sometimes) it acts like i have a vacuum leak some where. then it goes away. and finally itll stay at 1000rpm then throw the code. also it throws 2 codes for the idle control system malfunction. so what do i do?
car: 98 civic DX

i swapped it already. and no change. when the car is running, if i disconnect it. it immediately throws a code(of course) and starts idling at 1500 but the rpm i guess bumps every second. there is a dramatic change the car runs a lot shittier lol.

i did that carb cleaner stuff when i ran that code and it didnt work...and trust me, i cleaned it a lot....about every week, i cleaned my filter, cleaned the throttle body + manifold with that carb cleaner, and waxed my car

Just a possibillity but most of the time with IAC you need to unhook the battery cause imagine your old IAC was at 25 steps and you put the new one on and it is at 0 steps the computers memory still thinks it is at 25 steps and adjust from there which is wrong and clearing out the light with a scan tool will not do this cause all though you lose all your ram your learned rom is still stored in computers memory and needs to be erased please allow 10-15 min to discharge the system.
