Default IACV stuck closed...

Ok so I've come to the conclusion that my IACV is stuck closed.

Is there a way to fix it?

I really don't want to buy a new one since they are almost $200 at AutoZone. (2 year warranty.)

If yours is a 94' like your signature there's some cheaper ones on ebay if those would work for you.

I'll have a look.
Not picky with brands but at least a known one.

I dont think there are aftermarket ones. at least I havent seen any. you could just adjust the idle and forget about it. it will throw a code. IACV really only makes a difference at warm idle and prevents engine from stalling when you let of the gas. aside from that, check autowreckers and stuff.

Edit: I think there is a way to jump the wires to get rid of the code actually.

Idle is 1.2k steady.
Not good.
And that's with the screw as far in as it could go.


That's why I need to hopefully fix my IACV since it seems to be stuck closed.

you idle at 1.2k and still no vacuum on that top hole? you must have a vacuum leak somewhere. the IACV is prolly closed because you are idling that high, there isnt much it can do for you other than make it idle higher. is there vacuum on the bottom port when your engine is warm? I'm going to get a throttle body gasket myself because I noticed it was leaking when I cleaned it.
