damn, sounds like a nightmare well ill disassemble everything anyone know what type of screw i need for the black plastic part in front of the iavc? guess im going to have to drill and tap one of the screws hopefully i didnt overtorque any parts and cause a crack im pretty sure lexus wouldn't produce such inferior parts that it would crack under such light pressure hopefully it isnt anything serious cause that would suck big time weird thing was all parts were working properly before i attempted the cleaning now its just gone downhill

i thought it might be a vacuum leak from what i can remember, the black plastic piece in front of the iavc was tight but im not sure if it was aligned properly it should be as there is a small chance of error all other air lines were properly clamped and tightened

really? i sprayed a generous amount of cleaner on it until the rod spun freely it was very hard to move around before i managed to strip a screw while removing the black cover/plug leading to the IAVC is it possible that its not aligned correctly, leading to this problem? also, would replacing the washer on the rod the wrong way cause a problem too? anymore ideas???

well i cleaned the iavc for my sister's car (only took off the black plastic piece and sprayed the inlet leading to the iavc till the magnetic rod spinned freely) cleaned the throttle body while i was at it at first, the car started and drove fine just the normal hesitation from cleaning the throttle body at first i noticed the idle was acting up a little the next day, it just kept stalling it would fire it up, but then the idle would drop and it'd stall i would have to keep my throttle on the gas till the car got up to temp, then it would be fine i was going to tighten up the throttle cable and raise the idle to see if that would help but couldnt find the screw anyone have any ideas? im stumped thanks
