So I had a thread a little while ago asking what to do about a low idle, and hesitation when accelerating. I was advised to clean both the MAF and the IAC valve. After having cleaned them both and putting it all back together, the idle is now all over the place; everywhere from 300 to 1000 rpms. I also noticed that my speedometer needle has for some reason stuck itself at 100 mph, I have never gone that fast in this thing lol, but it happened after I put Stomper back together. So I guess my question would be is there a certain amount of time that I need to run her for? Or a reset type thing I need to do? Or is it just a bad IAC valve that needs to be replaced?

 

Yes , I tried to assist on Your alternator thread so I'm familiar with issues at hand ... the mass air flow sensor uses VERY fine wire elements that are sensitive to touch - if more than spray cleaner was done , the continuity of the sensor may be broken . Your engine will idle unevenly with very poor
throttle response . The idle air control valve is an electromagnet with a shaft mounted plunger . When cleaning , it is important to avoid getting any solvents inside the housing with the windings which will short out if that happens .

 

Thanks I actually traced all of my vacuum lines and found that two of them had split open and damn near exploded. Replaced them, cleaned out the entire TB and now she runs like a champ so far.
