just try cleaning the iac first before retuning and replacing filters and stuff....cleaning the IAC is free and i would bet a paycheck it would solve your problem

well the fuel filter he should replace anyway. i think it's supposed to be replaced every 20,000 miles or so.

and can't cleaning the IAC mess it up? or is that the MAF i'm thinking about?

yea fuel filter should be replaced anyways...but cleaning the IAC isnt bad either and is most likely his problem...and yea you can mess up the MAF, but the IAC is fine to clean


and fuel filter every 20k miles wont do any harm, but thats serious overkill....

guys....clean your IACs, its simple...mine would die faithfully every single time i would put it in N while hitting an off ramp....downshifting everytime is hard on your synchros...it takes 5mins to clean [>:]
