I get the error P0505 when I hook it up, and I know it's the IAC. But, I'm not completely sure whether it's bad or just dirty. The exact problem I am having it (sometimes) stalls whenever I idle, like at stop signs, red lights and going very slow on turns. If it does it 1 time, it does it every single time after that until I stop somewhere and turn off the car and wait a while... Then if it doesn't do it after I turn the car on it's fine until other drive when it starts again. I'm being kinda cheap here, as the part is $320 dollars and I don't have that much money to spend, but will if I have to. I bought some Throttle Body cleaner (sensor safe) is it possible that the IAC being dirty is making the stalling/code to happen? Thanks for the help in advance!

You may have a bad IAC ( idle air control) but try cleaning the throttle body first. Remove the intake snorkel, have someone hold the throttle wide open for you and scrub the back side of the throttle plate and surrounding bore with an old tooth brush and some carb cleaner. Be sure to spray some into the small holes next to the throttle plate. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
