Happy Belated Birthday Billy

 

Thanks Lisa! I'm 40 now! Aint no Spring chicken no more!

 

Don't I know it, I've been sitting @ 44 since 12/24.

 

Well happy belated birthday to you too!

 

Ok, we're going to get blamed for thread jacking....

 

Whoops...I better get to bed anyway...

 

Happy birthday to the both of you!

check the set/idle screw thing. make sure it's there and maybe open it up alittle.

and clean the whole thing.

 

Thanks Cole!

 

Hey Cole, thanks for the info, but yours truly has the Haynes Bible for these JIC (just in case) situations.

Billy I took your advice and made my attempt to cleaning the IAC Valve, and what a PITA.


Not an easy place to get to.. not to mention that I dropped one of the screws twice for the IAC. Luckily, Eric's Dad had one of those crazy telescopic magnets.

(Sorry for the blurry pic)


Per the Haynes Bible I cleaned the IAC Valve with Carburator Cleaner, and I think it's helped, but I've come to realize that buying a new one would be the next best choice. From what I've been told the "black top" should have a little spring resistance to it, and it's lacking it. Hey, I tried and the new part s/b here in a week.

 

Ok, I'm waiting for the part to get here, b/c the one that I cleaned is shot. Yesterday late afternoon I had to try 3 times to get the truck to turn over.

So lets say I still have this problem after I install the new valve? The PVC is only a year old. It's like I'm going through this check list....making me crazy.

My more than common occurrence is when I get the truck started, the idle then suddenly drops. Sometimes it comes back, sometimes it doesn't. Even in reverse this happens.
