No problem. What else I needs to do. Thanks in advance. Looks like IACV needs cleaning. The IACV controls the amount of air intake during idling. Carbon built-up might have hindered adequate air intake.
camlex Posted April 1, 2007 Author Posted April 1, 2007 Thanks, I did short TE1 and E1 and did increase rpm. That means IACV is working. But as you mentioned, may be needs cleaning. Is it easy to do? Thank you.

Thank you. It is quite easy to do. I cleaned mine using throttle cleaner. The IACV opening is just *in front of* the throttle plate. Look for a little cavity and spray lots of cleaner in it until it overflows. You should see black cleaner liquid coming out. Repeat this until the cleaner liquid coming out is not too dirty. Hope that helps. Edit: The IACV cavity is in front of the throttle plate. *Correction per Camlex response below.*
camlex Posted April 1, 2007 Author Posted April 1, 2007 Thanks, I will try to clean it today. but last weekend when i was cleaning TB i saw a hole in front of the plate. Have a good day.

Eric Cheung Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 You're welcome. Please let us know if cleaning IACV fixes the problem.
Eric Cheung Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 It's fix. Now runs like New again. Thanks, Glad that your problem is fixed. :)
camlex Posted April 4, 2007 Author Posted April 4, 2007 Hello, MAF(Mass Air Flow meter) How to clean? With 241,200 I never cleaned. Thanks,
1995_ES300 Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 you dont need to dismantle the iacv? just spray down that cavity and it works? I have been meaning to do this as well
Eric Cheung Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 you dont need to dismantle the iacv? just spray down that cavity and it works? I have been meaning to do this as well Yes, it worked for me. It has been 2 years and idling has been perfect since. It's done. Thanks, Good to hear that. Any performance change?
