i dont know much about engines, hence me asking the question about the bypass valve. I was just trying to see if I could get around replacing the part. I seriously didn't know what the idle control valve did, therefore I asked.. sorry if it was a stupid question.
Chacha: I didnt have to take the part (idle control valve) out to clean. what I did is disconnect the air intake hose. you will see the idle control valve and on the top there is a little hole. Start the car, and then manual rev the engine, while doing so spray the carb cleaner into the hole. You might have to do it a couple times to get it fully clean... now my engine starts like it did before this happen. And i get to keep the $100 to replace the part in my pocket...lol (ill take a pics of the engine and label what I'm taking about) (sorry if i don't know the correct terminology, I don't want anyone to insult my lack of knowledge with regards to engines) |
