1997 Dodge Ram 1500 360, Automatic, 4X4, 130,000 miles


I replaced the IAC valve, I didn't think that I had the bolts out all the way, took off the wire clip and one of the bolts fell out and out of site, ran a magnet everywhere I could and looked everywhere I could see, but could not find it. I put the new valve in and put one bolt in it. It is halfway working, better then the old one, but there is a air leak around it.
so it is still dying when I drive it and let off the gas, just not quite as bad as it was.

Is there a place I can get a bolt, or does anyone know what size it is?



Any help would be appreciated.

thanks

Bobby

 

Best I can offer is the factory part number 05003467AA for now. Hopefully someone else can offer up the thread pitch, dia, mm or not and length. Make sure the O ring is on the new AIS or AIC and lube it a little before you install it so as it does not fold over or roll off.

 

thanks, would the dealer have the bolt?

 

Junk yard.

 

ok,so I got a bolt and put the iac valve in. took it for a test run, went down the street a ways and back, did just fine. 10-15 minutes later, moved it over in the drive and gave it some gas, held it for a minute then let off and it died, started it back up and did the same thing and it died again. that was what it was doing before I replace the IAC. Is there something else that would cause it?

any idea?

thanks

 

Bad TPS, dirty bore for the IAC, vacuum leak, low fuel pressure, etc.
