hello HT

yesterday i remove idle air control valve to clean it every thing was fine but when re install it i damaged the thread in the down hole bolt and the bolt lose now and my car idle like b**** this is my dd car i dont have another car
what can i do to fix it ? should i remove the the intake and make new thread or or i try to change the bolt i am confuse dont no what to do HELPPP please

thanks guys waiting your suggestions

 

Either remove the intake or remove some motor mounts and turn or hoist/move forward the engine to get access for helicoil but either way that sucks. Try jamming a toothpick or small diameter copper wire in there see if it will catch some threads/tighten up any. Cant hurt.. Slightly larger/longer bolt?
Careful tightening into aluminium. Sometimes it has been overtightened previously and can't be helped.
Always consider surgery outcomes on a dd. Maybe some type of clamp can hold the IACV in place until you can fix it right.

 

thanks

i will try to make new thread if its possible without removing the intake otherwise i will remove it and fix it .

 

It doesnt take long to remove the intake.

 

Do you have access to a tap and die kit?
You could try to find that thread pitch and try to chase the threads first and see if that will fix it.

 

i solved the the problem by using a high quality gasket maker for the time been until i have time to remove the intake and fix it or but another one for better performance
thanks guys for the advises .

one more question .

now the car idle fine but when i accelerate the pedal gas the car would not go only if the rpm is over 3k if its below that starts shaking and i noticed when i turn the key to on II
