100/101 tuners, This is a long post, bear with me, I need allyuh help.
Since I put in the f/used tranny I felt like the car was forcing a little, I had to press the X a lil more to go, especially with the a/c on. The idle was a lil stronger than normal too. I did a lil reading and it seemed like i needed to clean the throttle body and iac valve. (Note: my tacho not working.)Went to the mechanic this morning armed with my Penray Gumsolve. The mechanic took off the tb and spray down and brush the whole thing. The whole thing! Then he took off the IACV and spray it down some more. There are two parts where some electrical connectors go. One on the TB, one on the IACV. Both of them get a good washing. I asked the man if them ting supposed to get contact cleaner and not carb cleaner? He say contact cleaner is for electrical parts
While he was washing the IACV he showed me that the valve was opening and sticking. He spray and spray and it start to open and shut. So he put back on the IACV and put up the TB. Car idling high like a kite. He tell me the valve not working and I need a new throttle body. (Like the man trying to get sales for Toyota). I say but it was working before, he say no it wasnt.
Anyway he put a piece of cloth in the TB????? and the idle gone down, not to the normal quiet, but to the way it was when I came in the shop.
He tell me go and check the electrician and see if the connectors that hooking up to the pins on the IACV getting current. I went and they were getting current and the electrician sounded disappointed in my mechanic.
So my fellow tuners, any advice?
Can the IACV be repaired?
Whats the price of a TB? can I buy an IACV alone?
What about this pc of cloth in my TB?
Should I fire my mechanic?
Was the TB the prob in the 1st place?
