67591, RE: Satan & resetting IAC Posted by Brent Pottle, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
This is how I reset mine and it worked perfect... Do a search and you'll see my 50 posts about IAC crap.
Phase 1 -Unplugged IAC -take IAC off throttle body -note: some people will argue this is not right, but I have done it and read it in many other posts. Pull out IAC plunger (with your hands, -not to hard) until it brings up and wont pull out any furthur. -clean it with carb cleaner/intake cleaner -place the plunger back in the hole untill it brings up in the By pass canal (i made that term up) -slowly force the IAC motor towards the TB until the they are snug and the O-Ring (get a new one if possible) is squat nicely. -put your screws back in to tourque spec (haha) -start the car
One of three things will happen now, a)the car will stall b)the car will rev very high (how high? it depends) c)it will work perfect
If A Occurs - remove IAC - very gently push the IAC plunger back into the motor itself (1/64") - put it all back together - start the car
If B Occurs repeat PHASE 1
Once it is to the place where the car idles perfect turn it off un-plug the battery, and wait +15 mins. Reconnect the IAC Wire, reconnect you battery and give it a whirl.
I did this 4 months ago and the car has idled and worked perfet since.
