this will not work. you will not fix your issue. find a good used valve and fix the problem.

you don't have to actually get a new one, try cleaning it! Check the FAQ for cleaning guides for IACV's

you could also tap it with a hammer and it will knock some of the carbon out, or so ive been told. im also gonna get an used one from a junkyard insted of paying almost $200 for a new one.
