Cool

If you've got a VZ, the IAC it's on the firewall side right behind the throttlebody. If you an MZ, the ISC is under the throttlebody.
Just follow the bypass air hose that routes air from behind the air sensor, to right after the throttlebody.
Use whatever cleaner you want, best to clean it by hand with a tiny brush. (Whatever those little wire brushesh we all used in arts & crafts growing up.)


I'm starting to have good luck with a spray lubricant called TriFlow.
