Re: IAC for '90 5mt
How big of a PITA would it be to switch to a newer IAC, say one from a '92 4eat car?Are we talking manifold, harness and ECU, or is it simpler than that?

IAC for '90 5mt
Ok...the other day, I started my car like normal and instead of the revs holding around 1.5 K or so like normal for the first minute of startup, they immediately dropped straight to ~400 rpm as the engine sputtered and died. I restarted it, and held the revs at ~1K manually for about 5 minutes, then...

Re: WTB: Canister purge solenoid valve
My theory is that it just gets rid of the CEL, but not sure what other affect it may have.

Re: WTB: Canister purge solenoid valve
I made a simple diagram. I hope it is clear.

BTW you need NOT remove your manifold, just use a 10mm socket and an extension to reach under the manifold to reach it.

Re: WTB: Canister purge solenoid valve
OK. Cut the wires close to the solenoid, throw the solenoid away, place the resistor, plug the remaining wires back into the harness.

Re: WTB: Canister purge solenoid valve
If your old Canister purge solenoid doesn't work any way, just cut the wires off of it and solder a 100 ohm resister to them, wrap it up with some electrical tape and plug it back into the harness. Now what you should do with the vacuum lines, I don't really know what is the best thing. Probably cap...

Re: startup question...
Just now I uncrimped the housing and unwound the coiling of the solenoid, slowly. I unwound about a foot at a time and kept checking the ohms with the meter. About 8 or 9 feet in I started getting 10 ohms of resistance, so I started winding it back up, soldered the two ends back together, reinstalle...

Re: startup question...
Yesterday I got back to it and discovered that I had a huge leak in the IAC gasket, had it off and back on twice and both times the gasket slipped, stupid, LOL. Any how I got the idle down from 3k, but didn't fix the original problem. I couldn't fin any procedure for checking the old style IAC, so I...

Sounds like an Idle Air Control valve issue, most commonly referred to as IAC. There are many posts around here regarding IAC problems, in fact there is one about 7 posts below this one entitled Startup Question... Try a search for IAC + idle or + clean, there are many posts covering it and you will...

Needle valve? I don't actually remember seeing anything like that, but that doesn't mean it's not there, I'll check for it later. There is the stop adjuster on the linkage lever. That's the one I already adjusted when the IAC stopped working, idled too low so I turned it up, the summer came and I tu...

OK, I know it's nearly a 7 year bump on this thread. I finally got around to cleaning my IAC on my '90 n/a, it hasn't worked or about 3 years(my bad) and now it is idling at about 3000 rpm. So after it started doing the high idle I first let it run for about 10 minutes and little change, if anything...
