No fitv but i am sure it's the iacv. Should i get a used one or should i not bother and just get a new one ?

Clean it. Unbolt it and shoot carb cleaner into it slowly so that both holes fill up completely. Let it sit for like 5 minutes then face it down to drain out and fill it again and let it sit for like 10 minutes and face it down to drain again, then shoot the screen on it with full pressure to clean it off and bolt it back on.

yeah, never buy a new one. its a waste of money. In my opinion. Moderators might say different but in all reality its not worth the money
