Maybe $45 for a used one, or a new inner gasket.

Expect to pay $200+ for the real deal.


How did you clean your current one?

It started when i took off the tb and clean it spray som tb cleaner on it and let it to dry for abit then i took out the iacv to and clean it as well with tb cleaner and let it dry i figure since i took out the tb minus well clean the iacv.

The reason i did that is because my idle is always sitting in 1000rpm i try adjusting the flat screw on top of the tb with no luck and think that the iacv is dirty so i took it off and clean it but before it was alright when im driving once i step on the clucth the rpm drops wer it sopose to be but now one i step on it it goes up to 1800rpm i have to be fully stop before it goes back to 1000rpm.

I tried bleeding it many times but still no luck.

Please help...

Anybody?

Bump...

Anybody?

Is possible cuz i sand down the hole of the tb wer the butterfly sits cuz ders alot of black stuff dat wont come off.
Could dat be the reason why my idle is going wild?

probably letting more air through then needed
so the iacv may adjust the amount of air that goes into the A/F ratio
but by having a hole there there is more air then the ecu has taken into and tries to compensateso you go a fluctuating idle
just a possible cause

While we are on the subject
What else have you done to the car that you have not told us about?

Thats all i did. I still got my old b16 engine and i try putting the tb in it with no luck. The car got worse so i put back the old one. Lol... Is it possible ive make the hole bigger by sanding it down even if the sand paper ive use is an use 1000 sand paper?

Anybody?

Check for vacuum leak,, small leak would make idle problem

Same here

Im using skunk 2 throttle body - 68mm
(Pro series)

My last options are:
- Checking the 2 SENSORS on the throttle body.
- They might need a clean

I feel your pain man,
Hating my car at the moment.
