IAC valve/TB cleaning results.....

ok, removed and cleaned the IAC valve and throttlebody. my symptoms were rough idle and sometimes misfire code on #1 cylinder. after car gets warmed up, everything is fine. no trouble in weather from 35degF or so +, or if i let the car warm up for a few minutes (which i've been doing the last few months.)

i started the car up today after work, and drove straight out of the lot, and up the big hill i use to go home. it sputtered a LITTLE BIT on top of the hill, but no misfire code! if i had done this previously with no warm up, it would have been bucking like crazy and most definitely have kicked a code.

i'm guessing the ECU is still trying to find the idle after the thorough cleaning, so maybe i'm a little hasty in posting results. i'll post results in a few days when the ECU can get itself calmed down a bit. there's definitely a difference, though!
