Default iac-stuck

had some idling issues so i took off the tb, the iac was stuck pretty good but got it out. when i went to put it back in it didn't want to go. i put some pressure on it and one of the side supports cracked. my new one will be in tomorrow. is it gonna need any type of lube or oil on the o-rings to get it in? mine was black/charred almost from build up,but i thought i'd ask.

Dodge's newer style of idle air control valves are somewhat crappy. The good thing about them is when they break the atill manage to function.
A very light coat of clean motor oil or some di-electric grease will make instalation much easier. Be sure and clean out the well it slips into before you install the new valve.

I added a little clean motor oil on mine when I switched my TB out. A little coating wont hurt it at all.

Yeah, I had it listed in the classifieds but I got tired of bumping it. Lol. If you can get your money back without picking it up, Ill give you a good deal on it. Its not doing me any good; Ive got a brand new one on the truck already.
