Okies so been having some starting problems, i seafoamed my truck today along with changing both positive and negitive battery clamps. put in a new IAC motor because the other one was COVERD in carbin and caused it to get stuck open, also ended up going ahead and pulling off the throttle body and giving it a good cleaning, didnt get it as clean as i wanted to but im going to be ordering a new holley later in the coming months when or IF i replaced my plenum and do a kegger mod.

After doing all of that i dont want to say i notice a difference because time will tell when it sits up over night and i goto crank it in the morning, usually the longer it sit's the harder it is to fire.

ok so here comes the pics.


Old Idle Air Control Motor/valve which is a crappy pic but trust me it looked alot worse in person


Here's the holley throttle body, top isnt all that bad.


Heres the bottom which on the otherhand is coverd in crap.


Heres what the inside of the Keg looks like


Heres the holley again after i soaked it down with carb cleaner and whiped it down.


And the bottom, BIG improvement. There is still some burnt on stuff but it wasnt coming off.


And here is the new IAC installed.



Alright here is a video of what it's doing now, i have see a small improvement in the idling but something has me a little curious. Watch my tach as i rev the engine, my lights dim a little bit and the rpm's will drop for a split second then level out. It's never done that before so i dont know if it's supposed to or if there's something else going on.

Opinion's and comments are welcome!

 

i dont think ive ever seen the inside of a kegger look that dirty...WOW, you must have power loss, poor mpg's right?

 

did you reset pcm after doing this? if not, do so.
it looks like the rpm's are dropping a tad low and then having to recover. pcm reset might correct it.

did you replace IAC or just clean it ?

 

Yep ongoing lol but i dont have the cash right now to put into redoing the topend, so im just doing small things to try and get by untill i start a new job

 

I'll go reset it now, and it's a brandnew IAC

 

Ditto, that thing looks crusty beyond belief.

 

the hughes plate is only 86 bucks

 

How much did that cost you? My truck idles a little low. That should help, right?

By the way, get a fastman TB. Very good mod.

 

Im really ****ing tempted to buy one next week sometime but i dont want to wait for it to get here, do you know if napa or autozone carrys the kits ?

 

The IAC ? cost me about 35 bucks including tax at autozone. it's idling alot smoother than it was but my whole reason behind taking it appart was my starting problem.
