Subject: Re: *UPDATE* Tried the WD40 - IAC trick (1992 LT1) by vis_croceus on 2009/10/10 19:04:08 WD40 is primarily a solvent, so the result of using it on something lubricated is (1) it removes the lubricant, then (2) it provides thin/poor lubrication which evaporates fairly quickly. Especially on something that gets hot. Never had an IAC apart but I expect there was lube in there from the factory, and after a WD40 soak there isn't. Can the pintle be unscrewed completely off, or will that destroy it? Although, really, the cost of a new IAC is what $40? So the investment in time has already probably exceeded the cost of replacement... |
