swarthy, you CANNOT clean the IAC valve. it is not to be cleaned or repaired by an average joe.

you can go to autozone and just get a sheet of gasket maker and cut your own gasket out too. this is what i used when i tried the IAC rev mod. my car hated it so i cut the hole back out to stock size.

Well... I'm not just the average joe then. Mine has been working for the last 2 years. I'm in college right now and the 50 dollar part was more then i wanted to spend... I already had carb cleaner and it worked just fine.

MU7: i read about that "mod" awhile back but never herd of any results from it. i was extremly doubtful of the idea of restricting the idle air so i didnt try it. glad to hear it was bogus. cut your own gasket, gasket from ford. its all the same.

i bought a new IAC from bluestreak and the gasket came with it. I also bought a cleaner for the MAF and washed it 10 minutes ago. I'll have to wait till tomorrow morning to see if it worked for the MAF. If it's the same **** i'll install the IAC. Because i can't be refund for the IAC if it has been tried.
