Recently i replaced a coolant hose that connects my iacv to an fitting under the throttle body. I took the damaged hose off and up to a local parts store where they gave me a replacement hose. I came back put the new hose on, filled and bleed the coolant and now every now and then my throttle seems to stick a little. Ill just be driving and when i come to a red light and push the clutch in my idle will stick around 2000 rpms or whatever i was last driving at...I thought about just cleaning it but i only had the hose off for about 15 min so how dirty could it have got? Any input is greatly appreciated


thanks

you might want to clean your TB out with carb cleaner. Im guessing yout TB is all gunked up around the butterfly/throttle plate.

Make sure to bleed the collant several times.

 

ya check the tb, and maybe even your throttle cable needs to be replaced

 

When the idle does stick, can you pull up on your gas pedal and bring it back down? Mine did something like that and I just greased every moving part on my gas pedal and greased the cable, then greased what I could on the tb. If it sticks and you cant change it...hit that tb.

no when the idle sticks pulling up on the pedal doesn't change it, but if i give it a slight rev it corrects itself..Ive bleed the coolant 2 more times and its still happening..i guess my next step it to check the tb.

does the problem sound like it has anything to do with the iacv?

thanks
