I have a T-25 screw stuck holding my IAC bc it is stipped... Any thoughts on getting it out?? haha! I tried vice grips without any luck and a pair of channel locks... Tempted to just cut the screw head off and unscrew it that way...

 

take a dremmel and cut a slit into the head of the bolt big enough to get a flathead in it and back it out that way, if that doesnt work for you then take a drill bit and drill it out and just use a self taping screw to anchor is back in once you change it.

I would suggest doing the first one.

 

yea... I didnt think of that... I hate T-25s...

 

Is the IAC supposed to stay open??? Bc it doesnt move... haha!

 

The new one I got... The plunger moves up and down....

 

They get packed full of carbon buildup and that is usally a good sign that it needs to be replaced.

 

Def. has that....

 

I got oil and carbon all the way up to the TB in the intake as well... lol

 

You are not suppose to move the plunger in and out with your fingers. If you did, then there is a good chance you have already damaged it.

 

It twists....
