Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion
That and use a 9v battery to power it to make the valve inside rotate to loosen the scum.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My search function not working on iPad and can not find anything on this on Google. How do you clean this thing? Just spray it with something like throttle body cleaner?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

does the idle control valve have torque specs or just tighten up snug? I know the throttle body is 7.5ft lbs?

POST 4Original post

I'm sure there's a spec somewhere but 7.5ftlb should be good.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 11923212

Yes...for the throttle body, but any thoughts on torque for idle control valve itself or are there none? Appreciate it

POST 6Original post

Quotes source post: 11923301

Aren't those also M6 bolts? 7.5ftlb for the idle control valve bolts will be fine. Just make sure you use a new gasket.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
