i tapped on that damn thing tonight with a wrench.. and the car idled better... i tink the valve is stuck or the coolant lines ARE on backwards... the valve must be stuck or something.. so i'm tired of messing with it...

how do i bypass it?? it never gets THAT cold here in cali...

 

Pretty simple. Simply connect the two hoses together with a double sided barbed fitting connecting to the IACV. If you haven't bypassed the TB coolant lines, it's a good idea as well. You can either run a line straight from the thermostat/manifold to the water pipe or just block them both off.

You can always manually do the exact same thing as the IAC valve by using your foot on the right pedal as it warms up Yank it.
