bad iac problems help
ok well my iac is going bad real fast lol.. i cleaned it out a while ago with carb cleaner worked fine for like 2months. then the other day i started the car and it shot right to 1500rpm.. so i went to the parts store and picked up some deep creep and figured that might get me by for a bit longer but all thats not the problem. it is i only had the car runnin for like 10 mins and it shot up to 192 dagrees.... so i let it cool down unpluged the iac and the idle was great about 700rpms and the temp didnt really move now to let u know i let the car cool to about 160 and with the same amount of time runnin it was still only 160 dagrees. now is this a normal problem wen the iac gose or am i looking at bigger problem.... and what about if i was driving the car and crusing at like2500 in fifth doing 50-70rpms would my temps still jump high reallt fast?? just asking cuz the car is going bac on the road for the summer at the end of the week.. thanks alot guys

it was 195 wen i turned the car off but it was going higher u could actually watch it move but wen i plugged bac in the iac it moved noramaly. i dont know could be the gauge isnt hooked right (i never did it, it was done by the onwer before me).. and the temp has never done this till the iac started acting up

increased idle speeds mean increased engine temps... not exactly rocket science!

no ****ing **** increased idle ****ing creats ****in high temps...im am lost on y the **** it was 195 in less then ****ing ten mins.. no ****in need to be a duchbag about it... a simple answer of the gauge could be in the wrong place, not hooked up right, or that is a good thing i dont ****in know all i asked for was a ****in hand in help and put on the right ****in path of what to do.. but NO! some one always has to be a ****in scumbag and a smart ***.. the ****in site im sure was to bring all stangers together and lend a helping hand because of the ****ing fact that not every person is a god damn ****in master tech... im sure if everyonf was this site wouldnt be nor would we have ****ing shops.. so stop being a dick and help if not then **** off... :-D
