2 screws and an electrical connector. Shouldn't take you more than 5 minutes.

It's on the throttle body.

Wow, That was a fast reply. So im guessing its like replacing the tps sensor. It wasn't hard at all. Well Thank you for the advise. Ill have to fix it tomorrow when its light out

It's the same size screw and right close by even. Not a hard job at all.

I'm also the master of fast replies

jst curious, what are the symptoms that made you change your IACV

Erratic or wrong idle speed.

RPMs will go up at idle and won't go down to normal.

the reason i asked is i am also having an idle prob.
but it occurs intermittently.
when it occurs, the rpm fluctuates from about 700 to a little higher than 1000.
i already cleaned the IACV, but the prob persists.

other things i observed:
-with the aircon turned off at engine start, after a short while my cooling fans are switching on (and off) even though engine is still cold (few minutes after start, needle on 1st line in the temp gauge)
-when i turn on the aircon, the compressor is switching on and off by itself erratically ( i hear it clicking on and off like crazy)

and from this "situation", when i turn off the engine and start it gain, the rpm will quickly jump to 3000 then back to about 1000

i hope you guys can give inputs

thanks:)
