can a cel 14 (iacv) be caused by anything else?
vacuums or maps....anything but a iacv?

thanks all

Could be caused because its dirty. Take it off and put some carb cleaner on it, reset ecu and try again

 

cleaned it three times
when using the stock ecu the cel comes on sporadicly but my idle is everywhere
when i pop my p28 in with ubers map, cel 14 comes on fast
i guess the iacv could be bad right?....but i have cleaned it
any other way to check it out?

 

bump please

 

probably the IACV is getting stuck or something, can u switch it out with a friend to make sure its that?

When u clean it, did u take compressed air and blow everything out? Do you have the "8" shaped gasket? Is there anything in the screen? Anything blocking it on the back of the intake manifold?

 

yeah it has the figure 8 gasket and i did blow it out
when the cars idling i can unplug it ano nothing changes....doesnt change the idle at all
is this a sign?

1 did you try to change the ivac
2 there is your problem. in bold letter

 

no i havent tried another (no readily available where im at)
and ive used 3 different p28 bases that work with other cars....i do get the code 14 on my obd2 ecu but not as often

the iacv can be bad and not throw a code right?
