^ I finally read online that these gaskets can enlarge due to vaccum / pressure / temp and cannot be re-used.

Purchasing a new one from Toyota dealer tomorrow for $7 and can finish up

thansk to OP for the write-up

looking for a little help..

I have parts cleaned and preparing to re-assemble here, but I cannot for the life of me re-seat the gasket between the IACV and the throttle body! It is too large and bows up no matter how I try to place it in its groove. I thought it might have expanded due to it being so hot out here in FL, so I put it in the freezer for a few minutes but it did not seem to help.

am I the only one who had this problem?
